Hello,

I recently joined this forum and I am desperately seeking for your help about condition of my bonsai. The first thing I am going to say is I owned my bonsai 8 years ago which was quite big at the time but grown so much over the time. To be honest I am not sure of its breed but I was told that it is suitable for indoor care. So I put it on my groundfloor which is getting good daylight but not direct sunlight. It suffered some problems time to time within the duration of 8 years, but got cured whenever I gave it vitamins. But this time even the vitamins given and changed pot, it is not recovering. Its leaves fallen of and got yellow sometimes purple colors. It also does not grow new leaves. I live in ?stanbul which has high percentage of humidity specially in summer season. I am sharing the pictures of it attached and looking forward for your comments desperately. I will be very glad if you help me.

Thanks in advance

I got a message saying "Attachment image size exceed limit allowed by configuration" whenever trying to attach files. Please help

hi,
Welcome to the Empire.
if you reduce the size of your picture to below, say, 1000px on the longest side, you should be able to post, and we can see what plant we are talking about.

Nice Ficus you have there.

Looking at the leaves, normally you get that type of deformation when you have sucking insects, typically Thrips, on your plant. Have a very carefull look for tiny insects (either salt-sized or about 2mm long) on the leaves.

This plant thrives in sunshine (Although moving it in full sun now from inside WILL burn it!) and from being outside, receiving the occasional rainstorm. If you have the option to put it ina garden in a shaded spot (Only receiving early morning / klater afternoon some sun), and in the rain, when it falls, I think you should already see improvement. Make sure the soil does not stay soaking wet for too long.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. What I thought before is that the older pot no longer provides enough space for bonsai roots because its grown so much in eight years. So I put it in its newer pot with more soil and created space for its grown roots. However, although almost a month passed, bonsai problem has not been solved. As you said If its because of the insects you have mentioned, will putting it outside in half/shaded place solve its problem? I have good spots in the garden I am going to try your recommendation. Nevertheless, If its because of the insects why would not it grow new leaves. Can there be any other underlying reason regarding its condition. Because I am very worried about its condition.

In general unhappy, with unhealthy roots. Sometimes it is dificult to really establish the cause.
Have a look at my figperience:

Will moving it outside in a half/shaded place help to kill the insects on it?

I'm not sure why you think that would kill the insects? Most, or, as far as I know, all, insects are used to live outside.
