Hello everyone, my name is Jules, I am new to this forum and to the world of bonsai.
I have had a fake pepper plant since September, bought in a garden center. He was doing well so far, but I had to bring him to the countryside, or I stupidly left him outside for 5 days with temperatures far too low. I repotted it and a lot of the roots were dead (a long time ago I think), but unable to get a good substrate, I had to use classic potting soil, to which I added the little akadama that I had left ...
Its leaves have lost their shine, are much less green, and are drooping. Every day new leaves turn brown and fall off.
What do you think I should do?
I ordered akadama, pumice and pozzolana but they won't be arriving for another week ...
thank you in advance
