名媛直播

Hello :silly:
My girlfriend bought me a 名媛直播 Tree as a gift, she was not able to tell me the type of tree, how old, or how often I should water it! I've been winging it for about two and a half months and have run into a list of things that have kept me busy. **The story with this tree goes like this, it was bought than left unattended, un watered, and inside a dark room for about a week, I came home to it with half it's leaves fallen off and a very dry bed. Since then I've been keeping my eye on it, watering when it looks dry and keeping it outside on a deck that gets morning sun and afternoon shade, UNFORTUNATELY I made the mistake of bringing the Tree with me to my mothers house, where she has other plants.. My 名媛直播 tree contracted 'Meads' I believe they were called? Little white fuzzy looking bugs that were making my tree their new home, I burned them away with matches and manually picked them off with tweezers, than proceeded to get my tree away from the other plants. It's now back on its morning sun deck and I have not seen any Meads or Mites on it... I haven't checked the roots. It's been two weeks
That's the history of the plant to my knowledge.. I'm not really worried about the bugs, I think they're gone.

The pictures below are of my tree and I hope you all can help!

Couple Points: I'm considering re potting this in the near future, is it to soon? is it in need of a repotting? Should I put a basic fertilizer to rejuvenate the plant? In one of the pictures you can see a dead arm on the tree, will this ever grow back? (its a casualty from it's first week in my house/not being watered or watched.) How often should I be watering this tree generally? What kind of species is it?

I hope you all get my gist here! Thanks in advanced.

I am surprised it is still alive after that abuse. It is unlikely to bud from the dead branches, Wooly Aphid or possibly Mealy Bug can be removed with meths or white spirit on a cotton but not by burning. Having had such stress it would be better to leave to see if it recovers, re potting will stress even more.

Should I remove the dead branch? It's very barren. And Yes I know it's been going through some stress, I attempted to place a lady bug on it to help with the infestation but the lady bug was not interested in helping... Should try again with the lady bugs?

Possibly a pomegranate?

The photo shows pointy leaves. I think a pomegranate has rounded ones.

Yes, exactly. Thanks for making my point more clear.

You really used matches to burn the bugs off? Why not use a blowtorch...

Your tree is a mass produkt (see attachment, it's easy to find an identical one).
It's a small shrub that cannot be considered a real bonsai.

I'd start with removing the rubbish that is on top of the soil. It's placed there as decoration only, but it has no use and makes it harder to see the status of the soil. You could put it in a larger pot and add some soil. You could add a small amount of fertilizer. That branch looks quite dead, I don't expect it will come back to life.

I would not do too much with it, give it the proper care and time to recover.
To be honest though, I do not predict a long life for this tree.

Has this plant flowered, and did it have white flowers?

I would not exclude the fact that it may be pomagranite but could be something else i would not think he would know whether it has flowered as he recently recieved the plant although a better guess would be myrtus communis, if so then the leaves should be strongly scented when they are crushed.

After the three e-mails you sent me, you just continue to do the exact same thing, right?
I'm not going to explain again why your post was absolutely unneccesary and I'm going to ignore you from now on.
