Hello guys,
I had some questions on watering my bonsai. When checking to see if soil is dry enough for water where do you stick your finger? Obviously the rim of the soil will dry out faster. I bought a moisture meter and it says my plant is dry until i stick it physically underneath the tree. The soil physically will look dry unless i stick it under the trunk. Probably a silly question but I’m worried about under and over watering. I want to get it right.

When the top soil looks dry, with a fine strainer water abundantly over the whole surface until there is a steady stream of water coming out the drainage holes.

Soil moisture meters only work on fully organic soil. Anything non organic mixed in will give you false readings.

Thanks for your answer. I got it.
