Hello all,
I hope you can help, i bought this bonsai tree from a street vendor and wasnt really given any information about what type of 名媛直播 tree it was, we were given some information on caring for it which after looking online looks to be completely incorrect.
My main concern is the tree is not healthy, the leaves are dying and turning brittle/falling off and im concerned it is dying. I wondered if someone could help me ID what type of tree it is we have so i can look up the best care guides, but also any advice on how i can save the tree?
The tree was kept inside in the window which gets quite a lot of sunlight, i have now moved it outside into a fairly shaded area as i wasnt sure what was best at this point, general advice said to move it outside. Im in the UK so we do get a fair bit of rain and good weather is infrequent, and cold winters most years.
I have gently scratched at the bark and it is still green - from what i have read it looks like this can be saved?
Apologies for the poor pictures, the lighting is a bit poor outside.

It has been very hot here for the last few weeks, and keeping this inside has contributed to the poor condition. I thnk it could be a Chinese Elm, but I am not sure. Keep it in a shady spot and keep it well watered and hope. There is not much else you can do. Buying plants from someone who knows nothing and cares less about what they are selling is not a good combination.

Japan peppers are used to indoor environments, so indoors wild be good, try not to give it water if it is already wet or moist, keep it in light shade as well, a west or east facing window would be good, if not, then north.

The plant you show here is a chinese pepper, zanthoxylum piperitum. It needs a bright wamr position, ideally not in direct strong sunlight (Early morning late-afternoon sun for a little bit should be OK).
Water when the soil surface has dried a bit; Never let it go completely dry though.
The plant you show here is very far gone; It will require a green thumb to bring it back to live.
Personally I recommend to NOT scratch the bark; It is the equivalent of grating some skin off your arm to see whether you are alive.

just to add, the reason for its unhappyness may be that it being pot-bound, these malsai creators hardly repot their stock.
