Hi,

I've had my bonsai for about 6 months a Chinese elm I believe and in the last month or so it has lost all its leaves and started to get a white brittle mold on the trunk, soil and under the pot, I have been wiping it off but am obviously concerned and really nee to bonsai, hopefully someone can help. I think I may have over watered initially but since the mold appeared I have been digging my finger into the soil a couple of cm's and only watering when it seems to be drying once a week/few days. It's also winter in England.

I wouldn't waste time on it. Tree is dead and has started decaying already.

Well that makes me sad, any idea what causes this,over watering?

Thanks

Improper care. Not enough light, overwatering, too hot/cold... don't know, I can't see where it is and what you've done with it.

Your tree is often named a Mallsai on this forum. Not a quality tree, a commercial product that looks like bonsai but doesn't have real bonsai quality. If I have to guess, I'd say that 90 % of such plants die within 3 months. Most bonsai forums are full of posts, identical to yours.
