| POSITION | Early autumn and a delightful time of year; some showers may be expected. The sun is no longer so fierce and days are getting shorter. |
| WATERING | Bonsai tend to dry out and watering is still a priority. |
| FERTILISING | Fertilising has to be done diligently if bonsai are to do well and to promote autumn colours. |
| DISEASE CONTROL | Pests are active and control is necessary. |
| PRUNING | Maintenance pruning may be done this month. |
| POTTING | Nearly all evergreens and figs can be safely potted at this time of the year. Post potting recovery is usually good. |
| REMARKS | As the days get shorter and the weather is milder it is an agreeable time to be in the garden. |
