What happened to my bonsai tree?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Jan 6, 2009
I took good care of it…followed the directions…watered it…one day they were spraying something outside of my complex…the leaves on my bonsai turned white…i cleaned them off with water…about a week later little tiny white things appeared on the leaves…i cleaned them off and all the leaves fell off the tree except for about 10…what am i doing wrong? will new leaves sprout again? i have an indoor bonsai tree
i think the landscapers were spraying pesticides…it was diffused into the air…its called an indoor bonsai..that is all it says
You may have mites in the soil affecting the tree,or you may have watered it too much.Best thing to do. Take bonsai out of pot. Throw away old soil. Get new potting mix from garden center. Get plain mix without fertiliser. Wash roots of bonsai, plant back in soil. Only water when soil is dry on top. Remember it's a bonsai. Needs very little water.Occasionally feed with liquid fertiliser.Otherwise you may have to buy new plant.Good Luck!
