I got a Vietnamese Bluebell from a nursery in town about 4 weeks ago, and I ended up taking it back to the nursey and getting it repotted, and pruned about a week later, as you can see from the photos. I feel like its been losing so many more leaves and I have not been seeing much new growth at all. I understand that its transitioning to fall/winter. so that can be accounted for the lack of growth but the amount of falling leaves or turning color leaves is a bit concerning. For the potting mix the nursey had me go with 1 to 1 ratios of pumice rock and potting mix, to get it ready for a bonsai mix in about 2 years when I repot it, and we got it watered up and its been home with me and in a bright window, as well as a growth light to supplement it. I check the soil using my finger to make sure that I do not let it get too dry and I water accordingly. The Vietnamese Bluebell is being taken care of strictly inside because unfortunately I do not have a balcony or way to put it directly outside. I will say as you can see in the picture my Golden Gate Ficus is right next to it and is flourishing and growing well after a hard prune on it and wiring. So Over all just looking for some tips and thoughts?
