名媛直播

Greetings fellow Artists

So, I'm a novice. Watering the 9 名媛直播 I have started to become time consuming, so I have been dunking the entire potted assembly under house temp water for the last 11 months or so. Has anybody ever employed this technique? Is there a downside, root pathogens, viruses, diseases?or alike that can be transferred from dunking all speciems in the same bath?

Helpful constructive criticism is welcome, please advise

No it is not a good idea is the short answer. If watering only nine plants is too much then you need to think about why you have them. I have a lot of trees and it takes me some time watering but I like doing it, I look at each tree and see how it is doing and if it needs watering or not. There are a number of species that I miss once or twice a week as they need to be drier.
Dunking for that length of time will lead to severe overwatering and root problems at least. If I have to dunk a tree it would only be for a short time usually until the bubbles stop, and it a last resort.

I just don't see how dunking for 3-5 minutes would save time. I have more than 100 trees. Spending that much time on each tree and I would not have time for anything else.

Yes, I do enjoy spending that much time on each tree. But it only happens on a sunny day, off my dayjob and the family is out of town.

Watering should be done in the way almost 3000 years of experience have taught us. Experience that has been passed down for several generations. Today there are not one bonsai master that do it in any other way and there are reasons for that,?mainly due to oxigenation of the roots:

When the surface of the substrate looks dry or close to dry. With a fine strainer water abundantly over the whole surface area until there are a steady stream of water pouring out the drainage holes. If the tree got too dry or if it is a hot and dry day, repeat 15-30 minutes later

Well, I am retired so in all most days, but I have over 200 trees and it takes me on average 25 minutes to water, not long.

By submerging a tree all fertilizer and oxygen disappear.

The topic is submerging the entire bonsai in water!!! I really hope that is not what you are doing?? If yes, pour trees.

Most of us use tap water, which has dissolved chemicals, often very heavy in calcium carbonate.? Soaking from the huge bottom let's these build up and can let them cake up on the roots.

Watering from the top flushes the left over stuff down, and also pulls oxygen from the air into the soil, which the roots need.

Water from the top.
