New to Bonsai & Bonsai Nut (PIX)

[lissa]

I dont know if im right but it was probably the direct sunlight that the plant was in so you should give the morning sun and indirect sun after that.

Thank you so much! I will definitely do that!!

Check very closely for spider mites, I see what could be some evidence. Not positive about that white fuzz...

One of the leaves did have something nasty wrapped in it. They looked like bugs huddled together. I removed them 4 days ago. But there was something living in there. Gross I hope they dont kill my tree. Those two are the best ones.

excuse my ugly fingers. But look what I found under the yucky leaves! I will google and see how to get rid of them but if any of you want to share you're secrets feel free. I truly appreciate all the help.

Do yourself and those trees a favor. Go to the local farm supply or big box store and get a spray bottle of insecticidal soap. Spray the trees especially the undersides of any leaf or bud. Do it in the morning on a dry day so the rain does not wash it off. You will need the soap anyways and honest I have never used a "home" remedy that worked.

Welcome to the Bonsai world, you have some nice trees to start out with get them into a plastic bonsai training pit which you could buy online or at a local bonsai nursery. You should see if there's any bonsai club around you, you can join the club and ask all the questions you want, thry also have shows for you to go to. Well have great time learning the art of Bonsai Lissa.

BENbEN, I gotta ask what the hell is a "plastic bonsai training pit"?
