How to water a Wisteria Bonsai? | |
There is no definitive guide to watering, and it should be conducted on an observational schedule, not a routine. This means that it is important to keep an eye on the moisture levels of the soil to avoid over and under watering, both which can lead to dropping leaves and/or root death. The amount of water a bonsai requires depends on pot size, climate, airflow, soil and tree type so it is best to use your eyes and fingers to assess whether the soil is damp, wet or dry. If the top inch or so of soil has dried, it is ready to be watered. When you water, ensure an even coverage over the roots and soil, allowing water to flow out from the bottom of the pot to ensure a good soaking. If you are a first-time bonsai owner, another way to water is by submerging the entire pot in water until the bubbles stop. If you choose this method, be aware that your bonsai may not need watering for another two to four days, but this will depend on the factors mentioned above such as soil type, pot size and climate. The wisteria requires a huge amount of water during the summer, especially when they are flowering. You can water as generously as you like without much risk of overdoing it. Some recommend standing the pot in water but you should not leave it there for a very long time as this will risk the roots rotting. If you choose to stand the pot in water, do so for 3-4 hours maximum on very hot days.
