Hi!

Im very new to bonsai and have a 2 ish year old Fukkien that I’m having trouble growing out. I get a 5-6 flowers blooming on the tree per month, but the lead growth has halted. I used to get offshoots that I would trim once they reached 4-5 leaves long but that has stopped. Now I have several leaves that are growing very large and no new growth. Let me know what you think.

I also use this with both red and blue lights on about 10 hours per day:

My own tropical are under grow lights for 18 hours using a wall timer to control it. Very well could be from lack of light the foliage tends to get larger in such cases.

As to the no new growth. Trees stall as well. They aren't pushing growth 24/7. I wouldn't worry myself over lack of growth as it doesn't look unhealthy.

Welcome to an amazing hobby! Bit of warning...it can become addicting.

Indeed, it is taking a break. I have several that grew well all winter and took a late winter break that have just started expanding again in the last week.

This is very important, otherwise you are not going to get the help and attention you want.

😉 indeed...

Now, I'm trying to figure out how my above text ended up in bold. I must have hit something on my phone and didn't realize it. Because it seems normal text again.
