名媛直播

Hi, I know nothing about bongsai but when my husband get me this plant, I did a little google and It looks like dwarf jade bonsai. And here, I would like to get some confirmation from you guys, the expert. I have attached the picture and I am looking forward to your response. Appreciated

If it is jade bonsai, is my plant healthy? Why the leafs keep dropping? I water it 2x minimum per day.... I let it stay indoor because I live in an island that the temperature normally 30-32C.
What should I do to let it grow more leafs?
Thanks

Not sure about the species.

It should be outdoors, like all trees.
Watering minimum 2 times a day might be too much. Try putting it in the shade if your soil dries too fast.

Oops, careful with these replies.

Jade trees CANNOT tolerate frost (though I found articles that say they can tolerate moderate frost - but I guess that goes for large plants - I'm certain one in a small pot cannot survive it)

Watering twice a day is FAR too much. It's a succulent, they like it dry. Leaves may be dropping because you're overwatering.
Your plant is a Jade tree (Portulacaria Afra). That does not make it a bonsai. 名媛直播 is not a tree species.

Look here for more info:

Don't know how temperatures behave in the Netherlands but here in Belgium 30-32°C is pretty warm

Well, temperatures here in the tropics are 30~38 degrees Celsius all through the summer.
I happen to have many Portucalaria Afra and Crassula Ovata, commonly called "Jade", and i water them twice a week, as they like to get dry between waterings, as Auk have said.
Some are inside in bright windows light (sunny most of the time), some are outdoors.
They all thrive in these conditions, so I guess everyone here is right, yours is overwatered by much.

"normally 30-32C"

She did not say that's year round and you don't know where she is. So, better be careful..

Thank you all for your replies.

I'm live in tropical country, Penang Malaysia. All years summer and temperature can be in the range of 28C - 34C.
This month recorded 36C.

At first i water it once a day (spray on the top of the soil) but the leafs winkled.
then, i searched around internet and seem like bongsai then i switched to twice a day and make sure the water run through the soil.
Since then the leafs look full but at the same time many dropped leaf too.

After i switch to water twice a day (water run through the soil), the leafs look full and grow tiny leafs but i felt not right at the same time too.
i just felt something wrong somewhere when i look at it as a whole.
Glad i found this page and i see many plant lover here hence i seek help from you guys
(i love all my plants regardless the types. I really i want to see all of them blossom. i want to make sure i do the right thing on them)

I will take all your advises and i will leave it outdoor and under shade. I will switch it back to once in 2-3 days watering (only water when soil dry).
I will update you guys

PS: Since it is not bongsai, can i still use this forum for my plant discussion?

Thanks

Fonz got that right, I was wrong...

I think so. In your climate, it should be possible to make a nice tree out of it.

Thanks Auk.

I will updates you guys here.

Hope it can become beautiful plant.

Thanks
