How much water should I use for a bonsai tree?

1. How much water to pour

The demand for water for potted cycads is not very high. Generally, the soil in the pot needs to be kept moist but not waterlogged. You can observe the surface soil of the flowerpot. If you find that it is dry and white, you can water it. The specific amount of water to be watered is uncertain because the situation is different, so the specific water requirement is also different. The amount of water should be moderate, but make sure to water it thoroughly at one time, so that water can flow out from the bottom of the pot. Only a little water needs to flow out, so that the pot can be watered thoroughly. If the soil is dry and compacted, you need to loosen it properly first, otherwise it will not absorb water.

2. What to do if the water content is not appropriate

1. Too much water: If you water too much at one time without considering the actual water demand, it will cause waterlogging in the potting soil, causing the roots to be soaked in water, which may cause root rot. You can loosen the soil to allow excess water to flow out, and then place it in a well-ventilated place to promote the drainage of moisture.

2. Too little water: If too little water is applied, it will be difficult for the roots to absorb water, causing the roots to be in a dry state. Appropriate water needs to be added, but not too much at one time.
