名媛直播

Hi name is Nicola. I bought this bonsai a month ago. When I bought it the leaves were red and now they are slowly turning green. Could someone help me identify this bonsai and understand what the problem is？

The probleem is :
-that is not a bonsai but a young plant in a pot
- you bought something and dont know how to take care of it ( buy a dog and after 4 weeks you start thinking about how to take care of it because it doesn't move anymore)
- plants belong outside
- ........

Sorry but these questions are asked a zillion times here, all with the same result- a dead plant- so one tends to get a bit cranky.....
Your picture is too small to see anything, a sharp picture of a leaf could help to identify it if you really want to know, but it's probably too late anyway

I guess asshole are everywhere

Hello Nicola. Yes, assholes are everywhere. The first one you met (along your bonsai expedition, I'm sure you have met others elsewhere) was the one who sold you something that is not a bonsai without telling how to look after it. I try to be polite sometimes, but deep down I'm an asshole, too. Sometimes, when you go through the trouble of finding a forum, creating an account, and even adding a picture to your first post, before actually posting, you could have perhaps spent a few more minutes browsing other threads where people ask help in identifying their dead plants and are met with ridicule. Have a nice day.

Yes, and they do exist in all levels of experience.

The Tone in here is sometimes a little rouff. But the context is mostly correct.

If you are serious about growing bonsai, you will need to learn from your misstakes. Because there are so many to make before you are an awerage bonsai artist. Not buying a living organism without knowing how to take care of it is the first lesson and it applies to any living organism, bonsai or not.

Getting more mature trees suitable for my climate was my second lesson in the hobby. The tree you have need several years before beeing decent bonsai material. If it even works in your Environment. Most likelly your first tree Will die. The question is if you will get your 2nd tree or give up.

For your question. There are a species identification tool here at BE. Use it and you might fint the answere. Red leaves turning green is for Most species a sign that it is getting less light than before. Not neccesary bad.

Thanks for your quick response. Firstly I am just amazed how jobless you are to sit and write a paragraph about everything but my question about the bonsai (being a species of a ‘plant’). To begin with, my plant is not dead. It’s growing very well and is just losing some colour. Second, I totally understand you are probably the worlds most famous bonsai cultivator, but my question was posted by me in a beginners forum. Beginners like me do not need your high level advise. Thanks very much for wasting both our time on a Sunday :0 you too have a great day!

In this forum there are no world famous bonsai cultivators. Just hobbyists trying to help other hobbyists.

I dont Think that any advice given to you is at a high level. In my opinion they are all very basic.

I sure Think that I answered your question. If you take some time to produce some better photos maybe someone can identify the tree for you. But using the identification tool Will be more appropriate going forward.

It is difficult to tell why the leaves changed color, it could be that this species of plant has red leaves when new shoots start and then they turn green after the leaves harden off... like a japanese maple. or a crape myrtle... the problem is, we can't tell which spiecies of plant you have there... and yes, generally speaking, trees will die indoors.
I'm not going to get into the question of what is a bonsai here... there are more experienced growers here who could better answer that question.

Not sure about the context as I have not read all posts, but:
No. 名媛直播 is NOT a species of plant.

名媛直播 is the art to create miniaturized trees. Your tree could be suitable for bonsai, but now, it certainly is not a bonsai.
