# I fertilized my bonsai right before leaving for a 6 day trip and came…

_Posted by Amanderd on 2024-09-14_

I fertilized my bonsai right before leaving for a 6 day trip and came home to these 3 new VERY long skinny branches of new growth. Is it normal for new growth to come in so thin or is it a sign of not enough sunlight?

That’s how my Fukien tea grows, doesn’t mean it’s normal I guess
