Hello all,
I think I signed up here a few months back but have never introduced myself. My name is Alison and I bought a bonsai many years ago at a Christmas market. At the end of last year the leaves began to droop and go crisp. We took it outside (it was previously stored in my bedroom) and stored it in our greenhouse, and the leaves got softer and less droopy but it lost its colour.
I'm not sure if this is normal or not. We were worried it was going to die on us so today is my birthday and my parents bought me a new bonsai (though I do hope my current bonsai sticks around and gets its colour back. Any tips or advise, i'm all ears!)
My new bonsai came from Dobbies and the ticket just says "Bonsai in ceramic with stones". I looked online at many sites to try and figure out what type it is and how to care for it. The compost is as dry as the desert, but I want to make sure I start caring for it as I am meant to.
Does anyone know what sort of tree this is, and how it would be cared for? My current tree just gets watered and mist sprayed twice a week, and 2 pellets of food placed into the soil once a month between April and September. Would the new tree be similar, and is it an indoor or outdoor plant? It was indoors at Dobbies.
