Hi everyone,
I’m new to the bonsai world. I’m taking care of a pepper tree. In the last days I noticed something is going on with my pepper.
Some leaves are falling down, and they appear to be be dry. At the same time a couple of small branches lost their strength and small black spots appeared on them. I uploaded a couple of picture to see the tree.
Smaller spots are appearing on other branches on the tree too.
I also noticed small white bubbles (not sure if it’s a pests) and just a couple of small black flys around the tree. The weather changed in the last days but inside the temperature is constant.
Not sure if it’s a water problem / fungus or else?

That is the classic symptom of tree suffering from the dry living room air. That is why I stay away from "indoor" trees .

I havent tried for bonsai, but a terrarium with misting system is the only sure way to increase humidity in a dry environment.

Try to keep humidity above 75%... that tree hates dry air.
Pulverize it with water a few times a day.
