Let me correct that:
It's that time again that people, that don't know what they are buying from shops that do not know what they are selling, buy bonsai as a gift for people that do not know how to take care for it.

First week after Christmas:
- I have received this beautiful bonsai (picture of a mallsai or young plant attached). Can you tell me what it is? I am new to bonsai and don't know how to take care of it

Second week after Christmas:
- I have received this beautiful bonsai as a Christmas present but the leaves are turning yellow. Am I overwatering? I am new to bonsai and do not know how to take care of it

Third week after Christmas:
- I have received this beautiful bonsai as a Christmas present but allmost all leaves have dropped... I am new to bonsai and...

Fourth week after Christmas:"
- I have received this bonsai as a Christmas present. It was very beautiful but all leaves have dropped... I am new to bonsai. How do I revive it?

i knew exactly what you were talking about....and now I understand why some of the veteran members make some of the comments they do. It drives me nuts and I'm a novice...in fact I have only 18 trees and only 1 in a bonsai pot and I still wouldn't call it bonsai. I have several pre-bonsai and some trees in nursery pots. It only takes a few seconds to google bonsai and see what it really is.

That is really not so much different from me. The only difference is that I have more trees. I too don't dare to call most of them bonsai - or even pre-bonsai.
