What is the best way to water a bonsai tree?

Asked 6 months ago
The best way to water a bonsai tree is to thoroughly soak the soil until water starts to seep out of the drainage holes. This ensures that the entire root system receives sufficient moisture. To achieve this, water the tree slowly and evenly, allowing the water to penetrate deeply. Avoid using a strong stream of water as it may dislodge the soil. Instead, use a watering can or a hose attachment with a gentle shower-like setting. It is important to water the bonsai tree when the soil begins to feel slightly dry, usually every 2-3 days, but this may vary depending on the species. Always ensure proper drainage by placing the bonsai pot on a drainage tray, and never let the tree sit in standing water.
