Hi All
I'm new to bonsai ownership and need some advice. I'm pretty good with garden plants and shrubs but this is a whole new world to me. I picked up a healthy looking little tree about a month ago and the first couple of weeks went ok, watered regularly etc.
Taken around the time I bought it...
Then everyday there would be a few yellow leaves. Over watering I thought so I cut back to once every two days.
And then suddenly overnight almost all of the leaves and shoots have gone limp
Is this a tree emergency or can I recover the situation? Are these leaves dead?
Losing the odd yellowing leaf I could deal with but this folding up of the shoots looks really bad. It seemed to coincide with the first time I misted the leaves in a week, but that maybe coincidence? I think putting the little stone chipping on the soil may have been a mistake as I can't judge the soil humidity. I've been feeding every ten days or so with the Lorbex Bonsai Food recommended by the people at Dobbies maybe over done it? I haven't re-potted or anything like that yet. Temperature is around 20 to 23c in the house depending on the weather. It's kept near a window towards a south facing garden but not in direct sunlight.
Any help or advice would be very appreciated.
Cheers
Jas
