Hello Everybody!
I need to help with my bonsai. My aunt give me bonsai then that i found out have a new hobby in last year. Now, 名媛直播 is dying and i'm sad. I have it half year.名媛直播 fall leaves in winter. I just say: it's okay...just no light. On spring 名媛直播 make new leaves, but after 14 days fall leaves again. Now bonsai make some new bud and after 2 days is dry. I find out some place have small spider-web and i am not sure if this is problem or not. 名媛直播 have a spot on balcony in half-shadow. I need more experience and sorry my english is not perfect.
Any idea or advice?
Thanks in advance.

Of course I have an idea. It's the exact same story here that gets repeated over and over again:
Some who has no idea how to take care for plants gets a plant that isn't really a bonsai, and it dies. It happens all the time. It's not an exception, it 's the rule.
Reason:
Improper care, cheap material, wrong environment.
Stop trying to do bonsqai. Get a cactus.

Thanks your answer. It's first season what i cultivate bonsai and somewhere i need to get some experiences, but of course some people are gods and don't need to learn. I something studied from books, but practice is practice. If you have better way then give me advice. I don't have experince yet. I don't know, how get to know it's good material or not. Same with environment. I just watch what happens then i try to find some solution. I think it's base steps.

Hi cmufakcz and welcome to the forum.
It looks like you have a chinese elm, although I cannot be 00% sure from your picture.
Did you repot this into the current container? It lokos like a decent substrate in the pot.
Please let us know: Is the brown clay, which looks like akadama the substrate in the whole pot? Or is the plant growing in something else and is the brown stuff just on top as decoration?
I think there could be 2 things:
- The webs indicate you have spider mites in the plant. These live from taking juices from the leaves, and they cause the leaves to drop, probably. Spider mites hate humidity and love dry situations. You can only get rid of them by having good growing conditions, preferable helped with a spray. As spider mites are spiders and not insects, you will need to get a spray that has spider mites on it and not a general insecticide.
- You could be watering wrong. IF the substrate in the pot is completely made of the large grains I see in the picture (Looks like it is akadama) you can give the plant water evey day, nearly. Important with this substrate: When you give the plant water, it has to run out of the pot at the bottom, and you have to hose the whole surface. Then wait for the soil to start to dry before you water it again. (I give my trees water every day in summer, and use a shower-head on a hose and just get everything completely wet). But this watering style can ONLY be done if the full substrate is made of large grains and not of potting soil!

Big thanks.
Soil have small stones on the bottom then have bonsai soil and last is akadama on the top.
Firstly I gonna find some spray to spider mites.
Notes:
I am from Czech republic and we have hard water.
名媛直播 soil composition:
It's mixed with peat, clay, sand and crush keramzit. I bought whole bonsai soil in local shop.
