Thanks for the interesting video. I bought a texas scarlet quince this summer. It's in zone 7B Albuquerque NM. It's outside in a large pot and has tiny leaves ,buds and flower buds at this time. I'm concerned it's going to flower much too early. Temperatures frequently dip to the low teens. I'm considering wrapping it in bubble wrap. Is that a good idea ?
Bubble wrap won't do a lot but better than nothing for the quince. If you can try the bubble wrap and plastic kitchen wrap it might be better. You wrap the pot with the bubble wrap. Put some garden stakes around the bonsai and than wrap this in the plastic kitchen wrap. It acts as a short term green house. The thinner kitchen wrap will allow light through, gives heat and helps to stimulate spring growth, but also protect while the other will give a thermal insulation layer but lots less light. The pot doe snot need light but not losing the heat is good.
Quince flowers need a potassium and phosphorous rich fertiliser with less nitrogen. Nitrogen will lead to leaves and less flowers. Phosphorous and potassium help to make more flowers. A 5:10:5 (N:P:K) ratio is suitable.
