water from top or bottom
 

I have been told both to water from the top and to water from the
bottom......which is correct?

water from top or bottom
 

Apparently it depends on the plant. For example, Peter Chan in his 1985
bonsai book "Bonsai: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees"
recommends that a bonsai pot containing a willow (Salix spp.) should be
immersed in water during the summer. Same for a swamp cypress (Taxodium
distichum) bonsai.
