hi all,

received a tree as a birthday gift and i think its in need of help but i dont know what sort it is.

all i know is its 4 years old (nothing else on packaging)

please help

better pictures are now in my gallery....not sure why the pictures are not showing in full?

I've the same problem, in internet explorer it works, but with google chrome it doesn't open, strange.

It is a Carmona (Fukien Tea). This is an indoor bonsai.

Here is a link where you can find more information about the plant.


Place this tree somewhere where isn't a central heating nearby, because it needs humid place and that's not near a central-heating . And place it somewhere where it gets direct sunlight, like a window or something.

For watering: Don't let the soil dry out, but don't keep it wet. After some time you know exactly what your tree likes and when it needs to get water.

This tree produce beautiful little flowers (I have one too) and you can fertilize it from March until Octobre to promote new groth and flowers.

I've told the main things about it, I think, but if you have more questions, please ask!

Good luck with your tree!
Youri

ahh thank you so much for your time and help

yeah i also use google chrome - glad its not just me lol

it has a name

just one question - while inspecting the soil and roots (lifted tree out of holder) i noticed a very small thin worm, what do i do if anything? leaves are brown in some places, soil moist and grass like growing upwards from the soil?

many thanks again

happy birthday to you.

with firefox I've the same problem too : pictures don't open fully !

Just remove the worm, I don't think it will hurt the tree though.

But what I would do is remove the soil and put new bonsai soil in. The soil it is in now is not very good soil, they have put the tree in this kind of ground because it's clay and the trees are mostly imported from China, so the tree had to go a long way so this soil helped the tree survive in these days. It's a kind of clay but not very good soil.

About the brown leaves: It could be just the stress from changing to another place. The tree has first been into a shop, then into a car or something and then into your home so the temperatures etc. all changed so it needs to recover from that. I think it might be that, or because they didn't got enough sunlight. As I see from the picture there are a lot of leaves. Prune back to about 3 leaves paires (I don't know if I say this correct in English). This will let the sunlight come through the tree.

Oh, and about the grass: this are just weeds, so remove it

Good luck!

@ Daniele: Okay, thanks! We know that there is a problem with opening pictures with google chrome and firefox, internet explorer works. I've told Oscar about it, so I hope it will be fixed soon, he's very good in webmastering!

right, ok......thanks ever so much for ya help gotta find the worm now lol

but if i change soil then will resolve this problem anyway

so on my shopping list i have

1 - bonsai scissors
2 - bonsai soil

anything else? lol

thanks again for ya help my tree may well saved after all lol

Thanks for the birthday wishes x

carmona is a difficult tree, because it need it a high hygrometry but with a very draining substrate . I solved the problem by using an old aquarium that I used as a terrarium with light 12 hours a day. Now I moved and I could not take my trees. Now I moved and I could not take my trees. I just start again growing trees.

I heard from different persons different things.

My experience is that once you know your tree, you know exactly what it likes and what it doesn't. I solve the problem with hygrometry by putting water on the dish under the pot (I see your pot has a dish under the pot, good ).

Some people say that carmona is a difficult tree, but it isn't in my opinion.

Just care it well and after a while I'm sure you know how to care it exactly what it likes! So no worries.
