Watering Japan style! And a timely reminder that just because it's dark and cold outside, doesn't mean our bonsai aren't thirsty ;)

There are many ways to do things, but only one "best" way.

We seem to use our 'lunch breaks' in similar fashion :P :lol:

Love these videos, they're inspiring and informative. I always struggle with watering during winter, always paranoid of over watering.
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

Looking for a Nursery or Club near your? Check out the AusBonsai Directory which lists them all

Yeah, funny I was out the other night watering and my wife asked why I was watering, it's been cold the last couple of days. I replied "yeah but it hasn't rained either". "Oh yeah, didn't think of that" she says. Very easy to get caught out when it cools down, especially if there is a slight breeze blowing during the day too, the wind really dries pots out quickly. I have to work on reusing my water as I'm getting complaints about the water bill :palm: I just blame that on living in a house with three girls :lol: :whistle:
