Our seedlings are fed already 4 weeks after germination. Use a liquid plant food for house plants, and give them quarterly some bone meal or lava meal and mix this through the top layer, this promotes growth. In the summer the plant can grow considerably and to help a little extra you can feed the houseplant once or twice a week. The tree grows fastest between April and September and can then make good use of the extra nutrition.
