Hey guys,
I've had this tree for two weeks now, when I got it it has recently lost all its foliage and had really many, many new buds. Consulted all of you here and was told to keep it outside and water properly. Thanks everyone for the useful tips. As you can see almost all buds have very quickly turned into well growing leaves, but I do have a concern. Some very pale green/white spots started to appear, I've attached pictures. It was suggested that may be fungicide so I was advised to leave the tree strengthen in good conditions.
What happened next though really concerns me now. Some of the leaves have started to turn yellow, including some new leaves. And they started falling among with some green ones... The picture was taken few days ago, now some of the leaves are proper yellow. For what I understand, that's a watering problem, underwatering or overwatering but which one?!
Also, I find the soil really awful and difficult to water. It's very compacted and I'm sure it is suffocating the roots. I have two problems though, first - it is midsummer here and for what I understand the season is not suitable for repotting (and the tree is already in full foliage) and second - I live in Bulgaria where bonsais are not very popular so no one imports bonsai soil, not even cheap one, let alone good quality... so I don't know what to do... I was thinking that may be orchid soil, which is widely available here, will be better than this stuff it is in now… that is large peaces of bark only…. What do you think?
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance everyone!
