Bone meal is a good plan after repotting. NPK ~ 0-10-0 Phosphorus is a good additive to promote strong root growth.

I usually don't fertilize established bonsai a heck of a lot in late winter and early spring when I do most of my repotting. The spring flush of growth is already more than I can handle. After pinching begins, I usually come on strong into the defoliation period in early summer.

Regards,

Matt
