Hi everyone!

I have a new tree, a Leptospermum scoparium.

It arrived a week ago as a pre bonsai, in a half cutted plastic container. Yesterday evening I noticed there is some leaf drops if I touch the tree, and some flower buds seem to be a bit darker then they were. The tree is at indoors in a window sill, i water it when the surface becomes a little bit dry. I didn’t make any work on the tree, no root cut, no root reduction, no pruning. Only 2 days ago I have just removed it from the plastic container and moved to a bigger ceramic pot and filled the empty space around the rootball with fresh soil mix.

My question is: is the leaf dropping normal because it the travel and the new place and conditions, or I do something wrong, like too much watering, too less watering? Or maybe it’s so fussy that even the removing to the bigger pot causes the leaf dropping? It’s winter here now, so today morning I have put the tree under my growing lights. I have attached some photos of the tree.

Looks like drying out to me. Its a new zealand species so I would asume that it not only require watering to get back into health, but also high humidity.

How did you manage to fitt that rootball in that shallow pot, without any rootwork. Looks to me atleast 50% of the bottom soil was removed.

No no, even a cm wasn’t removed. The root ball had 9 cm height and the new pot is also 9 cm. Maybe the original plastic container’s photo is misleading, because I made the photo from upper view.

check with the seller under which condition it was kept. Living rooms conditions might be too dry compared to the previous location..

it is possible to know where you are from !!! in view of the photos, the fall of the leaves can be due to a lack of water because the substrate is very dry, it is an evergreen, I will have waited for April, May to do a good repotting
