kalyani1234 I totally love Bonsai trees but never tried it myself, as it needs a lot of space and of course, money too. But I never miss a single show of Bonsai trees whenever and wherever it takes place in my city.

kalyani1234 It really depends on the temperature during day time, since now it is quite hot in India and I am sure it must be quite high in your city, so water your garden twice, morning and evening. But the watering time in the morning should be just a little after...
