Joanie, although I'm no pro, watering isn't too hard to deal with. I try my best to use a mix that allows the water to gush through. The very largest pots are watered less often. Fertilizing is similiar, with a higher nitrogen number for the azaleas and most of the conifers, and a more balanced fertilizer for everything else. I have a small handful of trees that either are more valuable, or require a bit different care. I try to keep a closer eye on them. This spring, I intend to go with a more serious feeding program for the pines, as in the new book from Stone Lantern. That will take a bit more time, but still shouldn't be too bad.
Take care,
zube
