Trees in the ground are able to reach down deep into the soil and far from the trunk to reach available water. The roots are also protected from drying out fast by the soil and any ground cover such as lawn over them. Bonsai are in shallow pots, with fast-draining but moisture retentive soil. Watering cannot be done on a schedule, every tree, the soil, root condition and weather affect them, but if a bonsai is watered every other day in spring it may need to be watered 2-3 times a day in the summer sun. Many yard trees never need watering except in a drought.

∙ 14y agoI have a Ficus bonsai currently and I water it when I feel the soil is dry. The first couple bonsai I had I watered to much, the roots rotted and they died. Make sure the soil of the bonsai drains well, and ONLY water when it needs it. Again, that would be when the soil is dry. When you do water it, water everywhere around the pot. It you watered it properly, water should be dripping out the holes in the bottom of the pot. It should be good for a day or more, unless it happens to be sucking up water as fast as it can! :)

How often do you water a pumpkin plant?
Just how often a pumpkin plant needs to be watered depends on the state of the soil. The owner of the plant should judge the soil before watering; if it seems already very moist, watering should be kept to a minimum. In general, however, pumpkin plants should be watered every two days. Watering every day can over-soak the soil, leading to disease.

Is the bonsai tree a good gift?
A bonsai tree makes a great gift. Depending on the type of bonsai you get - it is a gift that can last a lifetime!! What makes the bonsai a unique gift idea is that often the bonsai is sold by age - so you can match the age of the tree to celebrate various years of passing. For example you might get a 10 year old bonsai to celebrate 10 years on the job for a corporate gift or 5 year old bonsai to celebrate 5 years of cancer survival. Another great option for the bonsai gift is a anniversary bonsai - where you match the year of marriage to the bonsai - celebrating that the bonsai tree started it's life the same year the married couple began their life together. Here is a good bonsai site that actually arranges the bonsai trees by year - http://www.bonsaiboygifts.com/
