The soil for a Fukien Tea should feel damp like a squeezed out sponge. This soil look a bit dry, but it's hard to tell from the photo. It is also possible the tree is not getting enough humidity.
Perhaps... I might also be that my definition of drying out and his are two different things...
With no insult intended... Just trying to help him resolve the prob. and save the tree.
What proceedure is he doing to determine the tree's soil is dry ???
Tree is currently soaking and I'll certainly try a makeshift greenhouse. I'd still like soil recommendations from the site I linked, if possible - even though I'll try treating it with a lot of water before re-potting.
Hey everyone, wanted to give another update since it's been about 3 weeks since I put the tree in a plastic wrap container. I water it every other day, spray the tree with a squirt bottle in the morning, keep it in a window sill through out the day, and put it under my tortoise's 100 watt UV bulb for like 2 hours at night. There's been an increase in the number of small buds the tree is getting, but it ultimately hasn't made any progress in growing back anything permanently. When the leaves reach their maximum size they still turn yellow and fall off. I have 3 new pictures that will hopefully help.
First, here's a little timeline. The first picture is early last summer, before the leaves fell off. The second I posted here in November when the leaves were struggling to come back, and the last one was taken today.

And the other two new ones:

That last one is an example of what the leaves are doing. The left one will be gone in a day or two and the right one has already stiffened up and will turn yellow and fall soon as well. Happens with every leaf.
I'll be putting the tree back in the enclosure and continue what I've been doing until you fine people can instruct otherwise.
Same here. I might do it once but after that...I won't waste my time any further.I don't know about others on the forum but when faced with having to go look for photos somewhere else on another site I usually get a stiff knock and say screw that.
Is that single mouse click really so painful that you're at the point that you can refuse input?
