Hi
I am Manuel, from portugal, so please, sorry for my poor english.
Sorry also for some terms, that I do not know how can I say in english.
I am not an experimented bonsai keeper
I repotted my 6 years old carmona macrophylla on march 27.
Used 2x biobonsai vitamines.
From there, my tree start having yellow falling leaves. (photos)
The tree was not at direct sun, do not went dry (maybe the opposite)
The tree lost half of all leaves in one weak?
It is normal? can you help me with something?
Thank you very much in advance for your atention and help

Judging from hundreds of similar threads here one are led to think that it is quite normal. Carmonas loose a lot of leafs for no reason and die within the first year after purshase. No matter normal or not this is not a tree for beginners.

Hi Manuel, it's a bit normal. 名媛直播s stress out after repot and that is just a side effect. March is not the best time to repot, you should've waited till december/january. Plus, after repoting you shouldn't add any kind of vitamins, liquid or solid (in the first 30 days), the tree needs to calm down and get used to the new home. That tree needs light and humidity above 75%. In Portugal, during this time of the year, is not easy.
I also have one Carmona, and they need extra care, just like any "inside tree".

Espero ter ajudado :) Boa sorte!

Hi
Thank you for your help.
I saw in lusobonsai site, that the months to repot are april\may, so... early spring.
Now i understand it was a mistake, or not just one mistake.
But... here we are, this is what we have, so... can I do something to help this plant get trough this?
And, by the way, what is the best interior bonsai for beginners?
Thank you very much for your help, atention and honesty.

There are no such thing as trees that has evolved to living room conditions.

Althou not concidered bonsai by all artists, Jade plants, crassula ovata or portulacaria afra can be trained to look like a bonsai fairly good indoors. But in my experience they do better in colder conditions during winter.
