Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my jade bonsai have Overwatering?
Cause: Crassula ovata (jade plant) bonsai are succulents adapted to arid conditions with water-storing leaves and thick stems. Their CAM photosynthesis minimizes water loss. When placed in standard potting soil in shallow bonsai pots, the soil retains excess moisture around the compact root system, creating anaerobic conditions that promote bacterial and fungal rot (Fusarium oxysporum).
Solution: Test soil dryness with wooden skewer: insert to bottom of pot; if it comes out with moist soil attached, do not water
Prevention: Water jade bonsai only when soil is completely dry throughout the pot—typically every 10-14 days indoors. Use specialized succulent bonsai soil mix (50% inorganic components). Never water on a fixed schedule; always verify dryness first.
