Hello

I am new to Bonai and on Christmas, i received an 8 years old Carmona Fukien tea Tree and I've had it for a week and the leaves are starting to turn black and the general health of the tree seems down
I have done so much research in the last week on how to keep it alive but no matter what I do it seem to be getting worse and worse.
I water it every day or every other day when the soil starts to become a little dry to the touch and I keep the plant leaves damp with mists of water from time to time.
I have the plant on a window sill and I live in the 6a (Montreal /canada) zone, the shop where it was bought from is also in the same area as mine.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I keep it inside as directed by the store's professionals and followed all the instructions they gave.
my apartment is heated but i keep a window cracked for it not to become too hot or too cold and the plant is never exposed to the cold wind.
During the night when there is no light i move it away from the window in case it gets too frosty and in the morning i put it back on the window sill.
Yesterday I found some aphids on the underside of most leaves ( they weren't there when I got it ) so I sprayed it with this:
because it said it is also effective against aphids but overnight the leaves turned black in color. ( the aphids are mostly gone)
not sure what I'm doing wrong and I really don't want to kill an 8 yo plant within one week of getting it.
what steps can i take to bring it back to life?
i bought some bonsai fertilizer food that arrives in the next couple of days: []/0

Should I be removing the dying leaves?

any advice on what i should do regarding watering/placement/fertilizer to bring it back to life?







thanks

That is what Carmonas do indoors in winter in northern hemisphere. They die. Its a tropic species that need really high humidity if kept in living room temperature. Our heated homes is just far to dry. Pay your "professional" a visit and ask if he/she or anyone they know ever made a fukien tree survive. And if so, ask what it takes to succeed. In my country with similar conditions I have never seen a healthy fukien. I do believe that lover temperature in winter is the key and I will investigate that thought come a winter in the future. Just need to find a tree cheap enough in spring, which seems hard enough.

Sorry to bring bad News, but fukiens are not good beginners materials.

You should not be putting fertiliser on in winter. If the tree is in that state it will do far more harm than good. Do not spray with poison chemicals, if leaves are dead then remove them. You can read about this species in the guides on this site
