I am in nc and it is our "winter". temps are around 40-50 degrees. bonsai stay outside. should this be used in the winter dormant time? or in summer/s

My understanding is not to use nitrogen when the plants are dormant in Winter. It can burn the roots. If the trees are dormant they won't need food anyway. So I don't feed my plants that are dormant during winter. Come the spring when plants start waking up and budding again it's okay to feed them. They will need the nitrogen then. So just feed them during the normal feeding seasons from spring to fall. Hope this helps.

How many pellets to use? Is it 1 per inch of pot size or 1 for every square inch?

For a 6" pot, you'd want to use 6 Pellets. That is the manufacture guidelines. At the Nursery, we would generally use 4 pellets in a 6" pot. One at each corner of the pot.

I was told to water my bonsai from the bottom by placing it it a pan of water. Will these pellets work in that manner ?

For anyone with the same question: submersion watering is sometimes recommended because it generally guarantees that all the soil gets wet, especially the soil inside the root ball. Watering from the top generally takes longer to saturate all the soil. Both methods if done correctly are essentially the same in terms of effectiveness. If you only water via submersion, just do a bit of top-watering so that gravity can pull the nutrients from these pellets down through the soil and roots.

How many pellets should I use for an 8 x 12 x 3 inch bonsai pot?

It is recommended to use 5 pieces for every 5 inches of pot size, so, 10-12 pieces for you 12 inch pot.
