Check Moisture: The surface might be hard, but the soil below could still be moist. Use a chopstick or moisture meter to check before watering. Avoid Overwatering: In cold weather, bonsai use less water, so water only when the soil is partially dry. Water at the Right Time: Water during the warmest part of the day to prevent freezing and allow proper absorption. Use Lukewarm Water: If the soil is frozen, slightly warm water can help thaw the surface and ensure water reaches the roots. Protect in Severe Cold: If temperatures stay below freezing, consider moving the bonsai to a sheltered spot or insulating the pot. These steps help maintain the right balance and protect your tree in winter.

Should i water outside bonsai if the soil is hard because of cold?
Yes, you should water your bonsai even if the soil feels hard due to cold, but take precautions. Would you like a little handy checklist?
@ yes please 🙏
