Hello Everyone,

I wanted to see if there was anything I can do to save my first bonsai tree. Little history: When I got the tree back in Nov the leaves quickly fell off because of root rot which i did away with and re-plotted the bonsai in a new ~70% non-organic ~30% organic mixture soil with a humidity tray underneath the pot.


The apartment I live in is 72 degrees and feels dry. I dont know the exact humidity, but I dont turn the heat on, the apartment is just that warm. I have a humidified in the living room which seems to be helping the dryness. Outside where I live it is in the 20s.


Since December when I re-potted the tree it has not sprouted new leaves or any buds. The phloem is still green, which I know is good. However the ends of the branches look extremely dry, bark is splitting and the tree feels extremely dry as well even though the soil damp. I tried spraying water on the trunk and branches once a day but that didnt seem to work to counteract the dryness. I tried getting a heating lamp (keeping it at least 4 feet away to try and stop the heat from getting to the plant) to give the sun some light to trick it out of dormancy.


I want to know if the tree is dormant and I should wait it out till spring, put the tree in the window, put the tree in a smaller room with the humidifier to create and even more humid environment, or if it is a lost cause.

Thank you, Andrew

What species of tree is and could you post a photo please ?

If it is green, you won't know much. If it's brown it is probably dead.

or if it is a lost cause.

I'm going to say it is dead. We'd need a pictre to confirm.

72 degrees is way to hot. You kep it in an oven? 52 degreea above room tempareture. Why so HOT?

Im guessing the temperature is in fahrenheit. If thats the case, it is below freezing outside and the apartment is t-shirt comfortable lol.

I guess LB was trying to say: writing "the temperature is 20, its height is 25 and it weighs 2"... isn't very useful.

Gotcha. With the variety of people on here we need to specify the units of measurement. Im dense sometimes.

I think there should be no need, as we all should use standard UOMs

Ouch. Burn on 'merica. The only country in the world not using metric because we're too stubborn to give up our confusing gallons and miles

20° F is about -6,5°c if i'm not mistaken.. most trees can have this..
is that night time temp?

how long is this holding on?


if it's deciduous tree, you can place it in an unheated shed during winter..
