Bonsai For Beginners 8: How to water your bonsai. AVOID THESE 3 MISTAKES!

We get so many people coming to us with a dead tree and 90% of the time, they think it's because they "overwatered" it. We've done watering videos before, but we wanted to do an educational video that shows what happens to the soil if you water it wrong and when you water it properly. Some of this information can be found in our in-person Bonsai For Beginners class. We took clear deli meat boxes and drilled holes on the bottom and prepped the container as if it was a bonsai soil. This way you can visually see what happens to the soil inside the container. Watch how dry the soil is if you water the bonsai wrong in ways that we commonly encounter. Then watch again and see what happens with the soil when you water it properly. Remember. YOU CANNOT OVER-WATER A BONSAI TREE if you have the proper soil and proper container.
