Cold conservatory is ideal-bring it in -ease of the watering-it will drop its leaves or you can remove them -just don't leave the leaves on the pot surface to rot-it will tick over for the next four months or so then you can start watering again gradually to start it back into growth.

You can also trim it back now as well.

Bone meal or Fish bone and blood??

Deplete the soil and caustic Verdun??-sorry but I have to disagree-I feel you are going to have to justify that statement-this is news to me

Organic based fertilisers do feed the soil, artificial fertiliser do feed the plant but they do not deplete the soil and caustic makes it sound like a bad thing,

All fertilisers contain NPK in different amounts it just depends on what is needed as to what you should use

Growmore or National Growmore as it was originally called is a useful and cheap all round fertiliser developed in the 1940's as part of the Dig For Victory campaign and has by used by millions of gardeners gardeners since then with no ill effects.

Manure/compost etc condition the soil have few nutrients but do encourage worm and mini-organism activity
