Fertilizer for Ficus Bonsai?

Hi there! I’m a brand new plant owner and I just got a little bonsai named Muhammad. Greg is saying I should fertilize him today…I’m not sure with what… Would orange peels be okay? Here’s what he’s looking like today:
0ft to light, direct
8” pot without drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
That’s a beautiful ficus bonsai! I have one that’s 15 years old and I’ve always used fish emulsion and seaweed fertilizer. I’ve heard of orange peels being used for other plants because of the nitrogen content, im not sure about bonsai though. I’m curious what you find out!
