Well watering is truly a part of bonsai that is your own. Tempratures here in fresno are going to be over 100 for the next three days. I am watering once a day about 7:30 AM. currantly using fish emulshion and hb101. All pots from the smallest (palm sized) to the largest (15gallon) gets the same watering each day. On monday we could reach 104 degrees after work I will spray down the fince benches pots and ground around the benches to bring the moisture content in the yard up but beond this probably nothing special. I don't start watering once a day until the tempratures reach the upper nintys. Almost all of the potted trees are under shade cloth when the tempratures reach 85 degrees. Hand watering my and my bosses collections and all growing boxes and pots takes 2&1/2 hours every day.
