I’m looking for some advice please; I’ve had this bonsai for around 12 months and it’s not doing well. It has some pests and I’ve been spraying weekly for the last month but it’s now started dropping leaves as per the below pics, and the new leaves are a bit misshapen. Anything else I should be doing??
Any advice welcome!
Thanks in advance
Owen

Nonody here know how to save a tea tree. It seems like they are doomed the day they leave the production facility. Actually 12 months and still alive is quite an achivement.

SB Invigorator will not kill whatever pests you think is there. You are spraying too often which could be the cause of damaged leaves. You need to identify the insects before trying to get rid of them, a weak soapy water solution will do just as good as any insecticide and it is safe.

Thanks for your reply - I thought I was doing the right thing as it was recommended by the place I bought it from as a weekly spray, and it’s supposed to be non toxic and feed the plant too??

I will try the soapy water and keep my fingers crossed…
