I'm having a problem with my Bonsai, and not sure what to do. I'm pretty new and this is my first real bonsai purchase. My other 4 are nursery findings that I'm trying to learn off of.
My pyracantha looked healthy for the past couple of weeks. See first image. The image was taken August 17th, 2019. I've been following the instructions on watering every 2-3 days. I monitor the top soil to make sure its on the dry side before watering again. In Temple City (Southern California next to Pasadena), we've been having some pretty hot days (95-100 F). This week, I didn't water it for 4 days. When I went to check on it, the leaves were all crunchy and the berries were hard and dry. I got scared and watered it right away and move it out of the sun. I thought it was ok to give it full sun.
I removed all the hard leaves and berries, hoping to redirect the energy to healthier leaves. I scraped into the bark and it's still green. See the second image. I'm keeping it outside still, but away from direct sunlight. Please help. I want to make sure I save it.
Thank you.
