RE: Am I watering my trees the right way? Here are a few handy tips and explanations on watering.

in #bonsai6 years ago

Thank you for the comment. If you replant a tree into a new container. My advise would be to move it into a shaded area for a few weeks for it to recover. You can water it, but make sure it's damp not wet as your roots will rot as the tree is in shock it will need time to recover before you can water again as usual.

If it rains do not stress even it it is during night time. This does not have an effect on your trees. You need to make sure though that the water drains and that the tree does not stand in a pool of water. This is why I use a free draining soil mixture.

If the soil is moist and the tree has received rain water at night or the day before do not water the tree the next morning. Rather check the tree the afternoon and see if it needs water or not.

Hope this helps. Happy bopnsai'ing
