Hello y'all, hope you had a great Easter!


I got a bonsai this weekend, sudden and unprepared but delightful anyway, so I have been busy researching. Which is how I stumbled upon this site.
But it's all quite a lot to take in at once, so I'm wondering whether you have some advice, tips, must-have's and must-do's, etc. for me to start out with.

My bonsai is a 5y.o. carmona (or so it says) - its soil was quite dry, with some yellow leaves, so I watered it and placed it in a window. Anything else I should do?


Thanks in advance, C

I think the key to carmona health is high humidity. 75% or more at all times.

Other than watering, how do I best go about humidity? Misting the leaves with a spray?
And I see talks about trays - should I fill the small tray that came with the pot, or not?

Also, about the yellow leaves and deflowered stilks - should I remove or just leave them?

Humidity do not magically stay around the tree. It will be the same around your tree as in the rest of the room. You do not want 75% in your room. So the trick is to make the room smaller. Grow tent or terrariums is a posibility. Humid greenhouse is the best as you do not need to mess with artificial light.

You can leave the yellow leafs or take them off, does no difference. More of them will yellow until you have solved humidity.

I see, thank you. We do have a greenhouse but it's still too cold here to move it out there, so I'll have to find a different solution for the next couple of months. It might not be ideal but could turning a humidifer on next to it for a few hours a day work?

The humidity does not magically stay around the tree. Your humidifier will incrase the humidity in your room and you do not want 75% in your room.
