I'm new to bonsai - very new - and I have just one bonsai plant to take care of so far. Because I have just that one, I don't have any problems hand watering whenever necessary.
However, I've been having fun daydreaming about adding more and more bonsai to my collection in the coming years. With that said, I still want to be realistic in my bonsai reveries. It gets very hot and dry here in Sacramento for several months on end and I'm not always available for daily watering. Life happens, right? Drip irrigation on a timer has solved that problem for me with my other container plants though.
So my questions are for those of you who have multiple bonsai pots. How do you water them? Is drip irrigation a bad idea because it doesn't require daily inspection of your bonsai? Should I just research plants that can take a day or two without water once in a while and try those?
Any advice or thoughts on this would be appreciated.
