I'm a newbie, and trying to understand watering my bonsai. I have 5 right now. Two junipers, a Trident Maple, Chinese Elm and a small cypress tree. I live in a hot summer humid climate, North Louisiana, USA. These trees are in the sun about 6 hrs a day. Is this enough sun? It seems that the soil is moist, even after a day or so. I don't want to over water them. The Maple is dying, or at least I think it is. It has lost all it's leaves and hasn't had any for months. Scratching the trunk with my fingernail still shows green, but I'm not feeling good about it. The soil is always moist it seems. Too moist??? Could that be the problem? Watering these trees is a challenge. Mostly because I'm a beginner, and I simply don't know what to do. Any help? suggestions? Thanks in advance.
