[IBC] Basic Bonsai Watering 101
I've been studying bonsai now for about seven months and I thought I had this watering bonsai
stuff figured out by now, but now I'm learning I may be overwatering. I use the wood skewer method of dry one inch down then water, the finger method of dry to the first knuckle then water and I even use a moisture meter to determine when to water my bonsai. Now I'm thinking that what I read early on may be true, and that was when the pot was dry half way down to water. If it's a two inch pot then dry to one inch is right, but if it's a 4 inch pot then 2 inches dry is when to water. Can someone help us newbies to know exactly when to water? Should the soil be dust dry one inch down before watering or what? Thanks for any help!
