Hello everyone! This is my first post. I’m a beginner in Central Texas zone 9A.
I recently purchased a prebonsai Premna from Wigerts Bonsai online. It seemed in good health when I received it. Except I pulled it out of the container and could see it was extremely root bound. The soil was...
I need help with my flame tree, it started losing leaves due to strong winds and it lost about 20 leaves. I moved it to a safer area but it’s still losing leaves and some are curling please help.
Can anyone help with my Italian Cypress can't seem to find much help, I know it's not a common bonsai to have but I'm guessing it's similar to a juniper.
Basically was repotted about 2 months ago and have only recently within the last week or so noticed that some of the foliage is turning...
I grew a flame tree from seed about a month ago and every thing was fine until I put it in a bigger pot, that’s when I noticed that the stem was starting to turn brown and I decided to put it back in it’s original pot. I did notice that when I was repotting to the original pot that the bigger...
This is the yamadori tree that I buy in the fall. I recently noticed yellow spots between the veins on some old leaves (first spring leaves). The tip of these leaves is also a bit dry. What could be the most likely? Underwatering, overwatering, pH problems or disease? In the spring there was a...
Hi! So I’ve had my tiger bark for about 5 months now and this is the first time I’m experiencing this excessive dropping and yellowing leaves. I’ve had a few yellow leaves in the past, like one or two, but I noticed recently that my tree has a lot of yellowing leaves and they have these little...
Hi , it’s been about two-three months now, since my flame tree has been growing and I’m not sure if my plant is dying or just dropping leaves as the season changes?
I do live in Canada, Toronto specifically, any advice on what I should be doing? I water about twice a week, enough to keep the...
I've had this guy for probably a little over a month now. Repotted him as soon as I got him into a 1:1:1 mix of pine bark, akadama, and pumice. He's showing signs of some sort of bacterial or fungal issue I'm guessing. I REALLY hope this isn't bacterial leaf scorch, but from what I've been...
Any idea what could be wrong with our bonsai?
She gets watered once a week and has direct sunlight. We’ve had her 4 years and have never had this problem! We recently moved from AL to CO but she’s never outside and we’ve changed nothing.
Thank you in advance!
I brought a sick Yucca Elephantipes plant home about 2-3 weeks ago - the plant had many dark spots on the leaves. I can see new healthy growth but not sure what to do about the dark spots. Based on my research, these could be related to bacterial leaf spot but I could be wrong and would greatly...
Hello everyone xxx Bonsai newbie and lover here!
I'm here today to ask if anyone knows what species my bonsai is? (I lost its label)
And also to ask for some advice. I've had her home for about a month now and I dont think shes liking her new environment very much. I see some new growth...
Hello all,
I am new to the community. I recently purchased this 12 year old Tiger Bark ficus Bonsai (pictured below) after wanting to get into Bonsai for years.
I have shears for clipping, a water meter to gauge soil moisture, fertilizers, wire, everything I could possibly need (I think!)...
Hello everyone!
I am rather new to Bonsai having a flame tree and two spruce pines. They came in a kit I got for Christmas. I have another post describing my issues I am having but this post is only about one thing and I think most of you who are experienced might be able to answer it. I am...
This is my weeping birch, it’s been growing like gangbusters all spring (after a very tough fall and winter thanks to pest pressures that we overcame)
It’s really been doing awesome (and in need of pruning, I know, but I’m letting it grow wild to build back vigor) ...until about a week or two...
I picked up this bonsai in May and it’s been doing good in my house but recently (last two weeks) it’s been dropping a lot of leaves and the branches are dry and brittle, there is some new growth and even some fruiting. The soil drys out quickly so I’m worried it’s root-bound. I’m in south...
I have a Chinese Sweet Plum that appears to be getting yellow leaves
I did have it in another room getting indirect light. see first picture
So after some advice I've move it to the kitchen in a window (around 2 weeks ago) that if south facing so as much light as I can.
Is this something...
Hello-
I am wondering if this Chinese Elm is just losing its leaves because it is fall here in Chicago and has been a bit chilly recently, though the tree has been indoors. Or, is there something seriously wrong with it? The yellowing started a few days ago, maybe a week. The tree has always...
Hi folks-
I recently got my first bonsai as a gift from my gf, a ginseng ficus. After I first got it & repositioned it about a month ago, about 25% of the leaves turned yellow and fell off which I understand to be somewhat normal after relocating a tree.
However, it's still continuing to lose...
Hello! I'm very new to all of this; I received my Chinese Elm as a gift at the start of April, and since then the bonsai has been looking just fine.... until a few weeks ago. Some of the leaves began yellowing, and others have turned black/dark brown around the edges, before falling off...
Well, well, well.
After a year of a pacific relationship, one of my Ficus decided to show me some yellow leaves.
Not the normal waxy creamy yellow found in leaves that fall down when old; a half green half yellow tone that is showing up even in the young leaves.
The Ficus was not moved or...
Hey there first time poster! Looking for some expert thoughts and suggestions.
I have had my bonsai for 13 years (see pics) it's a flowering Fukien tea kifu and to be honest it's been the easiest thing to take care of, water it once a week, I have had in direct sun, barely any sun each time I...
Hi,
Any suggestions on the below would be much appreciated.
My wife and I received an 8 year old fukien tea tree as a wedding present in September last year. For the first few months it was doing ok, but in January we noticed small white things which, after some investigation, we found to be...
