Hi there,
We have an unknown type of Bonsai tree( a gift) and it was growing great untill a couple of weeks ago and is now loosing all its leaves....It has been kept moist but not soaking and do I need ot fertilize it...
Thanks Lauri
Bonsai Tree is dying???

Dear lauri. I am saddened by your loss! My deepest sympathies.
Sue
Thank You Sue,
It lost all it's leaves and never regrew them back....
Lauri
Lauri,
I'm ways too late to your post... I'm sorry. Not that I could perform CPR or anything in hope to save your tree. I'm sorry for the lost. I gave my daughter a beautiful Gingen Ficus Bonsai one year out West - when I returned to visit her it was but remnant of bark and roots on the tree! Losing a bonsai, ah I can relate to the feeling, especially when it's a gift from someone that is dear to you.
Take a pic. of your little precious next time. Look up its identity and read up on its culture. You know, like me, too much cold weather isn't going to do me good. lol I'm a novice at Bonsai, but being an avid gardener, the skills kind of transfer to caring for little trees in a pot. And what I do learn from reading on bonsai techniques do transfer back to my gardening hobby. So, curl up with a good book on Bonsai this winter, with a cup of New England Chowder, follow up with some hot Chocolate; is my recommondation.
Happy gardening,
Kim
Hi Kim,
MMMMMMMMMMMMM that sounds good especially the chocolate part....LOL
I may have to find a *Bonsai for Dummy's* book after I read up on Crocosmia (hope someone has written one) ....there is so much I need to learn about them too!!
Talk to ya soon
Hugs Lauri
May I suggest a good reading? "The complete Book Of Bonsai" by Harry Tomlinson. Abbeville Press Publishers; New York London.
Thanks Kim,
I'll have a look on Amazon in a bit....
