Hello,
got another newbie question . So I have a meter that has (moisture detector, PH, and also light intensity)
Now for light intensity it goes all the way from 0 to 2000, in what units are these, and is there a site where it tells you optimal range?
and as for moisture the scale is from 1-10, what moisture level should I look for before adding water. I know that for meyers lemon we should wait untill its almost dry but not dry, so iam guessing maybe moisture level of 2?.
Thanks

wesida,
Grey makes a good point concerning drainage. Over-watering is one of the most common problems with potted trees. There are two sticky threads in the bonsai forum that will be of interest to you.
The one on [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1479]General Growing[/url] gives information on watering.
The one on [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3422]Bonsai soils[/url] points out the importance of excellent drainage. I'm betting your tree is potted in a heavily organic medium.
