Don’t you water a bonsai like any other plant? The answer is absolutely not. Bonsai are very particular and specific and how to treat them will depends on lots of factors including enviornment and climate.
Because bonsai come in lots of different species, they use water at different rates, and that means they will grow at different rates during their growing cycle. Remember all bonsai are not the same, there are also deciduous and non-deciduous. Bonsai do not have set cycles and therefore they should be attended to when required.

The art of Bonsai did not begin as a horticulturist’s hobby; it actually began when Japanese and Chinese herbal medical practitioners devised a means of miniaturizing their raw materials for easy transport as they went from village to village offering their services to the sick.
But the artistic appeal of the small potted trees was undeniable, especially in Japan where land is at a premium. Bonsai trees were the original dish garden, and they are more popular then ever today. You can quickly learn the art of caring for these miniature plants by purchasing some beginner bonsai trees, and you don’t even have to go to a specialized plant shop to do it.
