It demonstrates the two-step method—first moistening the soil surface, then watering thoroughly—and shows how to adjust water pressure to avoid damaging Japanese Black Pine bark. Additional topics include bucket-soaking for shohin, checking drainage from the pot base, and the benefits of foliar misting. Seasonal guidelines and other daily watering tips are explained in clear, beginner-friendly language.
