Do you fertilize your bonsai?

Hey, that's nice! Yes, I fertilized by bonsai with balanced fertilizer. But the bugs keep flowering into these really beautiful flowers, but then died after a day or two. I really don't know why that is happening.

Is it inside or outside?
They are a bit sensitive, we should keep them in a temperature between 14? and 25?Celsius and they prefer humidity above 70%.

I keep them inside. I made a nice little green house where they get plenty of sunlight and maintain a humidity of 60% with a humidity tray. I know it's not the 70% humidity that they're supposed to be in during Spring, but 60% is not too bad for them either. I have a heat lamp that will only turn on if the temperature drops and a nice fan that can replicate winds of about 8kmph.
It is a good set up, I think. And I mean, if they didn't like it, then my Carmona wouldn't flower, right? So the conditions are nice enough to flower but not to stay that way
Do you think humidity is what's causing it? I mean, the flowers do look shriveled. I really don't know what to do.

I find that when flowers get moist, they shriver faster then when they stay dry during blooming.
Is the cover on top of the aquarium, how do you keep humidity inside without?
Where in your picture is the heat lamp?
The room is to dark even with those low light lamps. So pull up those blindings at the window and give them a wash. And put the aqaurium closer to the window if possible.

It's common for Carmona flowers to have a short lifespan, but there are ways to extend their beauty. Here are some tips:
Watering: Make sure not to overwater your Carmona. Properly drained soil is crucial, and allowing the top inch of soil to dry before watering can help.
Light: Provide your Carmona with bright, indirect sunlight to encourage healthy flower development.
Humidity: These plants thrive in humid conditions. You can increase humidity by misting the plant or placing a tray of water nearby.

TS was active for a month during spring 2020. All topics was about carmona in trouble. That tree is probably gone since a while.
But we have new carmona in trouble threads showing up almost every week. If you know how to save them, please stick around. We do not have one member that know how to keep carmona healthy long term.
