I just bought a juniper bonsai today. The lady at the shop said it doesn't have drainage holes because they put rocks under the soil in the pot. How do I know how much I would need to water in this scenario?? (Ignore the blue flowers in the back lol)
Sorry i have no idea but good luck to you. I have a hard time with any bonsai 🙈

I’ve never seen a potted bonsai like that that doesn’t have drainage holes. Rocks in the bottom usually don’t work but don’t this comment as gospel 🤣. Usually I water mine by just submerging the whole thing but then I would make sure and tip it to drain the excess water when you do. Good luck! She’s cute.

They need drainage, you can use a diamond drill bit and put a few holes in, or put this plant in a slightly bigger pot with holes. They also need to be outside, or they will die. I water until the water runs out of the drain holes.

I just got one myself and found out it had no drainage hole! I'm hoping to use a ceramic drill bit to make holes in the bottom. All be putting them outside tomorrow as the temperature will be dipping to bellow 30 tonight.
I ended up finding some drainage pots (3 pack) on Amazon for cheap. They seem to drain well and has been growing new leaves in the outside weather
