If the conditions are limited, you can only use tap water to irrigate. Be sure to dry it for a few days and let the chlorine in the water run out.

Watering flowers with Amoy rice water is also very nutritious, but be careful to fully mature.

Never use alkaline water such as washing powder and soapy water to pour the pile.

Watering time:

Watering time to choose the water temperature and basin soil temperature is similar to the time, the temperature difference is too large, will cause damage to the basin pile, so it is best to choose morning or evening watering in summer.

Watering times:

Water once in the morning and evening, before and after the hottest time at noon, spray water in time to increase humidity, so as to avoid plant yellow leaves and scorching.

The basin is small and shallow, evaporates quickly, and the number of watering is more; the basin is large and deep, and it is impervious to evaporation, and the number of watering should be less accordingly.

Be careful not to accumulate water, in the long run, it is easy to have rotten roots, resulting in plant death.

Bonsai placed outdoors on cloudy and rainy days should be drained in time, while indoor plants should be watered once a day.

Water quantity:

The tile basin has good air permeability and the water is easy to evaporate, so it is necessary to increase the amount of water.

The water permeability of ceramic basin and stone basin is small, the basin soil is not easy to dry, and the amount of water should be reduced appropriately.

How to save dehydrated bonsai plants?

When the young branches of the plant have wilted and drooped, the leaves are yellow or even fall off, and the stump needles of pines and cypresses become soft, indicating that dehydration has occurred. At this time, we should immediately move the bonsai to a cool place, wait for its temperature to drop, pour a small amount of water, and spray water to the leaves. After another hour, pour the water thoroughly.

When the plant is seriously short of water and the branches are seriously shrunk, do not pour water thoroughly at once. At this time, the cortex of the plant root has shrunk, and suddenly a large amount of water is replenished, which will lead to the rupture of the cortex and the death of the pot pile. After the previous step of treatment, the dehydrated bonsai should be put in the shade for a few days, and after it recovers, it can be moved back to the original place for normal maintenance.
