Hi, my bonsai is kept on shelving near 2 big windows, it takes in a lot of light and I water/mist it at least once every day or when the soil feels dry. The middle leaves are shriveling and are just falling off at the slightest touch, some of the leaves are browning at the end. ill have a picture soon.

jamie89,

Misting is not a substitute for adequate watering. From your post I'm not sure if you are watering your tree or merely misting it. Please read this.

hi, well I water my bonsai when soil feels dry and then mist the leaves afterwards. How do I insert an image of my tree?[/img]
