Hi there
My loropetalum is losing its leaves nearest the trunk. What am i doing wrong?
It has been kept inside the whole sunmer, in full sun. The leaves started to changed color from red to green, for a couple of weeks ago. I tried to place it outside instead, with no luck.
Thank in advance!

You should have had it outside all the time. That is almost certainly what has caused the problem, nit enough light and incorrect watering. It looks poorly, I think you should read about the species and find out how to look after it. Get the watering done correctly, remove as many of the dead leaves as possible and see if it recovers. Don't keep moving it.

I bought it as a indoor bonsai, and the guy said i could keep it inside. It has been placed in full sun and has never dried out. Should i just keep it outside now?
Du you mean the dead leaves are the green ones?

The green leaves should be alive. The ones that drop must at first look dead, I would have it outside in semi shade, and you must not allow it to dry out.
