How often should I water my bonsai tree in the winter?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Dec 31, 2008
And how much water? It's an indoor bonsai and is about 30 cm high.
Indoor bonsai are more subject to drying in winter when the humidity in your home is usually very low. Conifers are particularly susceptible. Water thoroughly every several days, sooner if the leaves (needles) appear to droop. About once a month, immerse the entire pot up to the soil level in room-temperature tap water. It helps to move the bonsai to a room with higher humidity such as a kitchen or bathroom window sill.

I would say about once a week, and only about a 1/4 cup or less of water.
Just feel the top soil to make sure it is not completely dried out.
Do not leave it near heated surfaces or near heat that is coming out of your vents.
