Hi all here are some observation i have been doing and i am trying to get replies.
This is my first spring in bonsai so i am trying to make the best i can do with my trees. Some of my trees are blooming and some are not. I believe some of my trees are being over watered, actually i stopped watering regularly for 2 days now. I have ordered some moisture indicators so i would know if i need to water or not but is there a way i should know from the leaves? On 2 of my trees some of its leaves are turning half yellow. Is that an over watering sign or is it due to direct sunligh which is hot here?
I also have insects everywhere i have been spraying almost everyday, the problem is that they mainly die on a tree and go to another tree. Should i spray all of the trees? (i am using the soap, water and surgical spirit mix).
I also found out that our tap water is horrible, around 8 on alkaline lvl and gh and other are all wrong, then i checked the water from my reverse osmosis and its actually very good so i started watering with it now or otherwise i would buy some sort of additives to add with the water.
Apart from all this i am actually happy with the overall, some seeds are growing alot and i am thinking to get alot more for next season so i wanted to ask when is it best to get the seeds of the trees?
Thanks all and hope i get some good replies. Please indicate links if you know any so i can read about over watering conceguences etc.
