For the bonsai to thrive, the right watering is crucial. Here you can learn what you should pay attention to when watering bonsai. Due to the shell culture, there is hardly any room for error when caring for a bonsai. Watering in particular can quickly become a source of error here. This is because the limited shell volume and the rather permeable bonsai soil make frequent watering necessary – and even too frequent watering a problem. How often watering is ultimately necessary depends on several factors, which we would like to present to you in the following.<\/p>\n
Like any plant, the bonsai needs water to survive. Due to the isolated cultural form of the bonsai in a bowl, meticulous attention must be paid to watering as needed. This is even more difficult with bonsai than with most other potted plants because the bowls usually offer particularly little substrate as a water reservoir. In addition, bonsai soils consist to a large extent of inorganic materials and can store water poorly anyway. Thus, bonsais must be watered at relatively short intervals. But not only the watering intervals and the watering method is crucial – the choice of a suitable culture tray and a suitable bonsai soil is also essential. We clarify all questions around the watering of bonsais.<\/p>\n
