Hello everyone,
A complete beginner here. I was given a bonsai as a present and since I haven’t had any luck with them so far, I would really like this one to survive so I would much appreciate your help and advice. I’ve read the basics… again… but I still feel unprepared and intimidated. I can’t seem to identify the species of my bonsai so as to do a more specific research into the care requirements for my type. I have attached photos. Could any of you kindly help me with that? And if you can recognise what kind is my bonsai is, would you give me any species-related recommendation, especially to do with watering. This seems to be the hardest. Is it the case that it needs to be sprayed every day and if so, do I spray the leaves? I’ve also been told that I need to water with boiled water cooled to room temperature as tab water is too hard.
The tree looks healthy and has plenty of new buds, which makes me think that I shouldn’t trim the few dry tips just yet? What concerns me most is the thin layer of mold on the soil top. What should I do about that?
Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for the long post.
