Update Still alive and well, here's the new spring shoots.

Thank you! I think I'm going to have some trimmed foliage towards the bottom/mid, for the tree and to kind of create a balance of the upper and lower portions.

Still alive and kickin'! I really want to imitate a large tree that would inhabit the rainforest, and dominate the canopy, and was thinking about (slowly) trimming off the lower branches (The 2, they are the lowest) along with the 5 new growth areas down there, so most, if not all the leaves are...

I think this isn't a fukien tea, seems impossible to kill. And is growing shoots like crazy.

The tree is still doing great after a week long vaca :) It's sending up some growth shoots I think, should cut them off?

Tree is still doing well, didn't move it for a few days to see what would happen but it's still growing pretty fast. once it's growth stops I'll move it. Feeling to sick to move it right now anyways...

Dang, I think I'll try to move it it high sunlight plus the 3 watt led. I mist it, that helps with the humidity, I also mist the moss bed very frequently, which has to release some humidity. It's outside, but in a sunroom. AKA a room with the walls replaced by mesh. Thank you

Well, it is an led, so far more efficient than MH, but I agree. What size MH would be best? i could easily rig of something as powerful as a 150 watt MH.

Still doing good, I was worried cause I kinda forgot about it from yesterday to today because of a medical procedure I had earlier today. But it hasn't showed any yellow leaves and I misted it and watered it (Soil was dry). Yay, a new accomplishment, keeping a bonsai alive for a week. lol

Yeah, I actually cut back on the misting (Once a day, if the afternoon) But i'm still misting the moss bed below it a lot. I water once a day, check the moisture. 2 days ago it was cooler and the soil wasn't dry so I skipped. Lucky my fish tanks helped with the patience part, one of my salt...

Species~ Carmona microphylla Common Name~ Fukien Tea Size~Tree~ 9 1/2 Inches 24 Centimeters Tall ~Tree With Pot~14 Inches 35 1/2 Centimeters tall ~Tree length~8 Inches 20 Centimeters Long Age~ 12 Years Old Characteristics~ Good flow to trunk, two branches slightly curve towards each other...

The tree is doing quite good, I mist it 2-3 times per day and the moss bed under it/around the pot around 5 times per day. I'm going to start a journel thread, I'll get a link to it from this thread soon.

I moved it outside yesterday, get's some sun, I hung an led over it (3K warm white) which will probably help. No more yellow leaves.

I saw 2 yellow leaves, luckily it wasn't 50 phew Watered it, misted it (They love humidity so I'm going to do this daily), thinking of watering every 2 days or daily. Looks good otherwise. I think the leaves yellowed up because I didn't water it in a dry 100 degree heat.
