Hello,

I'm looking for as much help as I can get. I have a bonsai but don't know what plant it is as it was a gift and never properly identified, whose leaves are turning a pale yellow / losing their chlorophyll. Additionally, when I water it, the water comes out looking like rust, though it does have an odor of soil. I'm worried that there's a filter that has rusted and needs to be removed but I've never repotted a plant before. I don't see any bugs and I think it might be iron deficiency based on the rudimentary research I've done, but I'm desperate to save this plant as it's been the longest lived plant I've ever owned.

I pruned it before these photos as I thought that might help. A video I found said to scrape at the bark to see what colour it is, which is the wound that is shown on the trunk. That video said if the trunk was white, there was nothing to be done, but I'm not ready to give up just yet.

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Your track record is not amazing. "The longest lived plant you have ever owned" is a juniperus procumbens nana. It is a cold temomperate tree that will die within 6 monts if kept in livingroom conditions.

The longest lived plant I own is 23 years old and still going strong.

You can try to take your juniper outdoors first in full shade and then slowly over a 4-6 weeks period move it into full sun. Even if there is a slight chanse of survival, do not have high hopes. Even if survived, it needs years to recover.

Sorry, I should have been more clear and given more information, this juniper had been going strong for approximately seven years and has lived that entire time in a window box (I live in NE America, which according to google is a cold temperate zone?) Just recently it's started going downhill. I will start the transition to full sun and do what I can. When I said longest lived, I meant that this plant has lived longer than any other plant I've owned

Is there anything else you think I should do that might help encourage recovery? It's never been re-potted nor have I fertilized it and I'm wondering if either might help, though I'm worried if I re-pot it, it might stress the plant out more than it already is and actually kill it. I'm also worried that it's root bound, but I don't have the knowledge to assess that.

Thank you for your assistance!!!

I still do not understand. Not a native english speaker. Is a "window box" in livingroom conditions behind the glass or in temperate environment on the other side of the glass?

If the tree has experienced a good winter dormancy, I think it will recover as soon as it gets full sun. Once it starts growing you can add fertilizer. Repotting season is over, so that is not an option.

If the tree has been in livingroom conditions for 7 years and still living, I am very impressed. That is a very hard to beat record!

My view of a window box is that it is outside the window,

No worries, I got confused between a window box and a garden window, which m5eaygeoff is correct to point out. A window box is an outside planter that hangs on a window. I was referring to a garden window, which is a small window in a house's kitchen that plants are put into (I've always called it a window box, but I am wrong, that is my mistake). Technically it's inside the house, behind glass, but it gets very good afternoon sun as it faces Northwest and can feel the chill of winter.

I greatly appreciate the assistance. I will definitely spend my time helping this plant recover, and I'll look into re-potting come next spring. Hopefully I can help it bounce back.

If it is indoors it will never get temperatures below freezing which is necessary for a proper dormancy.
