bonsai leaves losing color and looking crispy was created by Dustinray

Posted 9 months 21 hours ago #82905
I just recently got back to the united states from thailand and i brought back a bonsai tree. as soon as i got it home i put it in my bathroom with a humidifier on and the heat turned up. it went the first few days without the correct lighting since i had to buy the proper lamp for it. within the first few days i noticed that the leaves started to look dry and were losing color. i looked up what it could be and they said that it might be because its getting too much heat. so i moved the tree further away from the heater and since then I've had the proper lighting on my tree for the appropriate amount every day and its still looking a little on the dry side. I've been misting the leaves twice daily in hopes to keep the leaves moist. I'm new to all of this and could definitely use a little help

Do you know what species it is? What is the humidity level in your bathroom?
