Hello, im rachel, and i used to have a small bonsai. later last year, it sadly schrivvled up, and died. But for christmas, my dad got me a brand new 8 year old bonsai. For me it's old a week or so old, and as my old bonsai died, I knew I needed to take more care. My new bonsai is almost 9 inches tall. But how much water does a tree that height need?
My old bonsai either died of under watering or under watering, so this is pretty important!!!
PLease if you have any comment and/or ideas, please send me a messge

Thankyou.




Rachel

Hi Rachel, please read the sticky thread at the top about new postins and come back with the information it asks for. A pic is always helpful and can be hosted on another site such as photobucket then link it to here.

Rachel hi.
I think that you're in Sussex but we need to know what you have got before offering much in the way of advice. Meanwhile keep the planting medium just moist. Will you also tell us where you are keeping it?

Welcome Rachel. Nice to meet you. Tell us everything that you know about your tree. What kind? Where do you keep it? What kind of tree was your first bonsai?

Hi Rachel,

Welcome to the forum. As you can see , most people want to help you out, but they need to know the name of the tree you have to give you the best information.
