I have my outdoor Bonsai (5 finger pine) on the balcony, but im worried that it will never get rain as it is sheltered by the upper floor. How does one tackle this problem when one lives high in the sky. I was laughing to myself as I held my bonsai out into the open for a few mins, so it could get some rain. Cheers - Simon

I just water from overhead with a fine nozzled watering can. The tree can't tell if the water is from the can or a cloud! __________________ Here's to a long life and a merry one, a quick death and an easy one, a pretty girl and an honest one, a cold beer and another one!
