Generic method

For watering bonsai, we often speak of "drench". Unrelated to a bowl or pot is put inside. It is watered by sprinkling (with a watering can with apple) from the top of the tree so that the water runs off the leaves before reaching the pot, and then flows through the drainage holes.

This method allows the cleaning of various leaves and prevents infestations (mites inside) harmful to the tree. Water only the substrate if the tree is in bloom. Avoid watering in full sun and too thoroughly.

Watering type substrate "soil" and equivalent bit draining

This type of substrate becomes hydrophobic when it lacks a bit of moisture. If it is kept constantly moist, the roots rot and the tree dies.

For mid-season (spring / fall) generic watering is usually sufficient. For summer, the dry soil quickly.

It should rehydrate putting the pot in a bowl and fill it without pour water on the ground, but around the bush. The water should flush the outer rim. Rehydration is finished when the water rises naturally into the pot. Take it out and drain. Resume normal watering until the next rehydration necessary. This method takes time. For a tree, it should, but as the number increases, the run time explodes.

Choose a draining substrate is important for the quality of irrigation and tree growth.

For example, 20 medium bonsai  (20-30cm high) in 100% compost requires two hours of watering. 40 same size bonsai in one-drained (pozzolan 90% + 10% soil) requires an hour.
