WATERING - Outdoor Trees

Watering a BONSAI>BONSAI>BONSAI is an art in itself. Weather conditions aCROSS the country vary from county to county and even in your own garden conditions will vary due to exposure to the sun, wind and available rainfall.

The simple answer to the question "when do I water my bonsai" is of course when it needs it. In the height of a warm sumMEr you will need to water your bonsai much more regularly and at some times DAI>DAIly to keep it at its peak condition. In a rainy spring week you may never have to water it at all.

One tip is to allow a small weed or flower to grow in the BONSAI POT alongside the tree - when this wilts you will know that the tree needs watering.

There are a number of factors which determine the frequency of watering -

Weeping

bonsai_weeping_style_01.jpg image WEEPING - Japanese term : SHIDARI or ZUKURI.

Similar to style in nature of the weeping willow.

Bottom branches should be bigger than the top, as in other styles, and will weep less than top branches.

SHOOTS should be trained early to produce the "fishing pole" curve effect. In this case the curve can be achieved using weights as opposed to wire.

The example shown here is courtesy of British BONSAI>BONSAI>BONSAI.
