Hi,

This is my first bonsai with Ficus Religiosa (sacred fig) and what I did differently recently was adding NPK 16:16:16 fertilizer (granules) after I felt that the growth is slow with cow dung and bone meal as manures.

Now, the leaves have turned out to be like in the attached picture and there is another similar aged sacred fig which does not have any problems with the leaves.

Could it be that the fertilizer was applied more? Should I wait for more leaves and see if the problem persists or not?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks
Raj

Stop the fertiliser now. When a plant is weak do not fertilise. There is no picture but cow dung is not what you use. How are you watering this plant? Where is it kept?

Hi,
Here it is monsoon. I have kept it in such a way that it gets enough rain in the day and I move it to a covered area at night in case it rains heavily. Then back to the open area after sun rise.

Thanks
Raj
