Fukien Tea Tree issue.

[Txfukientea]

Hey everyone, I just got into Bonsai and have had one for 3 weeks. I’ve been having a fungus gnat problem and saw online to put a Mason jar of Vinegar beside it and the gnats would be attracted to it. well I was out of town this week and just got back and was informed that my mother thought She was supposed to water the plant with this vinegar. My question is how do I restore the ph Balance it do I just water it with alkelized water maybe?

Hi, I am not 100% on this but you could try Baking Soda.

Did the tree actually survive the vinegar "watering"? Just water thoroughly with your regular city water. The pH of your water should be over 8 as it comes out of the tap. Water pretty frequently for the first day, then a couple times a day after.

Regular tap water, don't try to apply anything else.

It has a very good chance of surviving just fine. Flush with clear water several times in one day, then return to normal watering schedule.
