We have three dwarf pomegranates. How much water do they ...

@ArrestingGinger Hello 👋 and welcome to Greg, Theresa!

Water

The first year is a critical time for your new pomegranate. It has not had time to establish itself yet and therefore is not as strong as an older tree. To prevent the tree from dying, it must be watered twice a week on light soil and once a week on clay soil. Be sure to soak the entire root system deeply, this will take about 40-50 minutes. For best growth and production, pomegranates should receive at least one inch of water a week. During dry spells, water is mandatory. If not properly watered during dry spells, fruit may drop prematurely.
I have them in planters in the house the pots are about 7” and are in a mix of succulent mix and bonsai soil.
What does it mean when the leaves start to wither ?
