Hi, I have questions regarding my BRT, 35 yrs old, got it 2 weeks ago. I am also kinda new to Bonsai, have had them in the past but could not deepen my knowledge.
Located in South Florida Miami, sitting outside facing South all day ( its Winter so it gets sun until 3 pm). The tray is under soil but the top soil of the tree is not covered. Maybe thats the whole issue since we can't control if it gets enough water or too much water and if the water drains or not. Or its still under stress from relocating ? Different location, different water quality. different schedules of watering. Possible still after 2 weeks?
I am confused and not sure to stop watering . The weather was cloudy last 3 days so I stopped watering it and started last night again. Not really seeing a difference. I also put some green fertilizer on the top close to the upper roots and trunk what I received from the nursery.
Looking at the color of the leaves I don't feel that its the right color of this tree but maybe there are different species?
The green is not a nice full green like the ones I see on this forum. It might lack nitrogen ? I did a big google search from Adam's blog through YouTube and Bonsai Empire and so on. I got a few infos out of it but really not enough to understand how I should maintain this beauty regarding water, fertilizer, repotting, pruning. I really would love to change the whole soil as I think this might be the real issue here, but afraid of this task without info and guidance. Since this is a tropical tree do I have to wait until the spring to do the job or it does not matter? And what fertilizers are the best ones for the BRT, should I use organic Biogold? Is Nitrogen included there? Is akadama, pomice and lava a good mix for a BRT this age?
I will post pictures and hope somebody can assist :}
Happy New Year !!
