I've been gifted a fukien tea 3 weeks ago, it's approximately 8 years old and it's my first bonsai.
It was in apparent good shape from the store, i moved city soon after and brought it with me, it has had all sorts of problems: pests (mainly aphids), gnat larvae, and brown\black spots. I was probably over-watering it at the beginning (nothing crazy, the pot has drainage holes) because also spraying away aphids with water. I used neem oil in cycles, and h202 for gnat fly larvae, now i am waiting for the soil to dry a bit, and will water less. The first two problems seem under control, the third though is what worries me. Is this fungus? The leaves with a lot of spots will just drop (some i manually removed), and also i feel like it has lost a good 40% of leaves.
Some photos of the now and the last one was in the beginning:
Help is greatly appreciated!
