Hello everyone, I bought my first Barbados Cherry tree a week ago and its been losing leaves almost daily. Leaves seem to be a little on the yellow side but do not appear to be wilted or dry. I checked the leaves and they all appear to be clean and in good shape. I'm currently using two CFL's...

You can probably buy one either online or at a local nursery bonsai store if you have one, because that's what I did. Mine was only $25, I'm really happy with it.

This looks pretty cool. I also bought one today with two flowers about to bloom. I heard that they are easy to take care of, which is what I'm looking for as a beginner.

I don't really have much space for those fixtures, but you are right it would be the best choice. Unfortunately my Fukien just died today, so I picked up a Barbados Cherry tree, I guess any cherry tree is easy to take care of, at least that's what the sales lady told me.

That sound good, I will be more than happy to do some research on those types of trees.

Poink88, Thank you for your quick reply. I guess we live and we learn not to buy anything without doing a little research. I guess I always wanted to own a bonsai and I never knew that there is a lot to it than just watering it once in a while. I bought another tree "Aboricola Schefflera"...

Hello everyone, I am a beginner to the bonsai world and I need help/advise with my Fukien Tea tree. I bought it at a flee market from a person that had a huge variety of bonsai trees. He was happy to sell me the tree for $45 which he said was 15 years old. He told me to water it often and...
