Please Halp! I'm brand new to Bonsai. I bought a small ginseng ficus and then two leaves fell off. The leaves looked healthy and not yellow, but I was worried that it was losing leaves. I read that the Ginseng Ficus bonsai would do better if rather than watering whenever it looked dry (about 1 time every 3 days), I just misted it every day. I've been misting, and now it has 3 yellow leaves! I want to save my little ficus! The leaves are starting to feel really thin now too.
I live in Chandler, Arizona and it is humid and very hot outdoors right now (summer). I keep my bonsai indoors on a window sill so it gets sunlight during the day. I let it sit outside at night twice a week because I heard it needs to "breathe." It sounds like b.s. to me, but I want my bonsai to live.
Does it really need to go out to air out?
Should I buy a humidifier for it?
When I mist it, should I mist the leaves, the soil, or the exposed big roots?
I bought some liquid bonsai fertilizer. Any tips on first use?
Thank you all for your expertise!
