Strange bonsai condition - Possibly dying but not sure
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 8:58 pm
Hi there, currently a very, very frustrated bonsai owner. Bought it sometime in October and my poor tree is dying. Or at least I think. Leaves are dropping but it continues to grow just not on the branches. It does look some leaves are growing but no fast enough to make up for the lost ones.
Repotting is currently not an option as I live near no garden centre, have no means of getting to one and my parents refuse to take me as apprently it’s just ‘loose leaves’.
I have to travel between university and home every weekend with which I take my bonsai. Could this be having an effect?
As for light I have no access to any natural light so keep it under my lamp on my desk. Due to the winter months where I live I’m lucky to get some natural light for a few hours. I honestly can’t see it surviving this winter. Will it grow back in the spring?
Is there any way I can save my bonsai, is it even in harms way? Or should I just chuck it in the bin and buy a plant that won’t die the moment I turn my back? Sorry for the snark but I’m not in a good mode right now and my bonsai dying is just adding to that.
Thanks in advance.
