Do I water the Jade Bonsai? Because I don't see a hole in the watering pot that goes into the side where the bonsai Jade tree is.

Thank you. Someone said the water will leach from the pond side so I'm glad you clarified this.

Yes water the Jade - NOT every other day as the generic tag states. The pool is more a reflection pond not a watering reservoir.

I noticed your question when buying them and just received mine yesterday so I took a look. There is one small hole at the bottom of each pot which looks large enough to properly drain considering how small the pots are. I have a black thumb so I decided to drill a few more in there just in case! It was super easy to do so you should be fine either way.

The indicator stick has a sponge on the bottom and it will expand when saturated. If the little leaves on the indicator stick are even with the top of the top of the hole, you need to water. If the leaves extend above the opening, you are good. Hope this helps.

No,I had to drill holes in mine to give it drainage. Don't know if you are an avid gardener (I am), but you might want to think about the extreme difficulty of planting in something without holes. I have never successfully kept anything alive that way. You're better off with a pot that has holes and a dish underneath it.

I'm sure it will work on the bonsai just use one for the pot. I just came back from a three week trip and the plants actually looked better!! There must be some type of nutrients in the hydration.

no, because you water trees best at their dripline, not at the base of the tree (unless the dripline has a small diameter as with a young tree)

Hi,yes there is a hole at one side of the tray and it is enough and never water is collected .I have put mine on the counter beside the sink from that part that has hole.Don't hesitate ,this is the best you can find ,you yourself should try to see what I mean.

The bottom of the planter is solid, but about an inch up on the sides are slits in the plastic. If you overfill, the water will flow out. As for the reservoir, I believe you can fill it up to the hole where the watering can would be inserted....see the top two holes above the ribbed area....that is where you fill.

I water mine at least twice a week. I'm no expert, but I believe the same rule applies as with most plants . . . don't wanter too much, but don't water too little either. Mine was BEAUTIFUL for awhile, but then I think it began to go dormant. I picked off most of the dead/brown growth and started the process over again with one small clump. I believe I read somewhere that this is the natural process of the air plant and, if it survives, more sprouts will eventually occur. I'm no expert on this by any means. I may end up throwing out what little I have left and switching over to a jade plant as an alternative option! I water mine at least twice a week.

I don't get the leaves out at all. I just keep adding water to it throughout the day - the way Chinese drink tea!

I did not get mine in the cold but I do know that I loved my little tree and yes the pot I thought was to small so I called eves and they told me to trim the roots till it fits and that worked. My only problem was after 6 to 7 months I forgot to water it for close to a week and it died. I am going to get another tree strait from them since I still have the kit

Oh Boy! good question.... never thought of that. Guess I will have to reseach in case I need a replacement. Thanks for the question, sorry I was no help, but I DO LOVE this tea pot

Yes. The pot is smaller. In my case, it is a heavy plastic; soil included as well as the tree. Of course the tree might not look like the picture. Mine doesn't, but it did arrive healthy and in good condition.

i sit mine in one of those shallow, translucent storage containers (top off of course), so if there is any overflow it catches it. once you get familiar w/ the plant, rate of growth, size, etc. you get good at giving it just about the right amount of water, so that it doesn't overflow anyway. it shouldn't be that soggy to begin with. when the plants i'm growing (two to a smart pot) get to a decent size i give them about a quart every day, but it depends on the plant. it is better to give the water several times over the course of the day too, than all at once.

I purchased the large saucer that matches the pot, and it has worked perfectly. Yes, you definitely need a saucer and this large one that matchesthe pot is most adequate. When the water drains into the saucer, I leave it there and let it evaporate on its own. This allows humidity to flowup to the plant, and the saucer is completely dry within a day or two. My plant is gorgeous ... this pot is the best I have ever owned.

Would that mean only water/nutrients? If so then the water would leak out of the lower levels. Each "planter" has a hole in the side at the bottom and then any excess from on top leaks into the next level.

No- paperwork states only water should go in the pot....this is an AWESOME teapot!
