Farmer Harris Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 To me it looks like you may have overwatered a tad. How often have you been watering? Dont take my answer as definitive. Only fairly new to this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leprechan Sweet Leaf Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 They will be ok. The drooping could be down to stress (from the root damage caused whilst repotting) or your watering. Did you pot em up to a really big pot after tearing off a lot of roots? Maybe they would be better in smaller pots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scraglor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 bonsai compost shouldn't do em any harm at all mate, it's designed to promote the growth of lot of feeder roots, and just has a low nute content that's all, wont do em any harm at ll, you do really want a good multi purpose compost though, as they contain lots of food do them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally its every 3 days to water I think. Everyone always says use the wet dry cycle. That means, Completely saturate the soil. Make sure every inch of soil is soaked. Then wait until the soil is noticably dry. After a while you will be able to work it out by the weight of the pot. Sounds harder than it is. A dry pot of soil really does weigh next to nothing. With mine I usually water and then have 2 days without watering. Then ill water and have 2 days without watering. Sometimes they need it more often, some times less often. Depends on temperature etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
