名媛直播

Hello again,

Condition of my bonsai got worse since then. Half shaded place outside of the house has not improved its condition. Although barely new leaves coming out, they seemed to be deformed. Additionally, on the body of my bonsai there are black/brown thing started to appear recently. I will be very happy, if someone who identify my bonsai's situation. Because it is hard to find a person who is expert on bonsai in ?stanbul.

You are watering when the soil gets dry. I would?t let the soil get dry, only max. of 1cm on top.
Maybe it just doesn?t have enough of water.
I would guess that black stuff on bark is mold, try to gently wash it off with some water and foam washcloth to see if it is coming off.

It was inside not receiving enought sunlight an it has little foliage anyway, so consequently it had very little energy stored in the roots. When transplanting you damaged the already poor roots. The tree now has no energy to recover and it does not have any foliage to make photosinesis. Sorry, its dead.

That should not be a problem as you do not need a person who is expert on bonsai at all.
You need someone who has knowledge of ficus.

Auk hast the point. 名媛直播 means tree in a pot. Forget the pot and you are left with a tree.

I appreciate your replies. I know bonsai means a tree in a pot. However, taking care of a tree in a pot inside should be different than taking care of outside planted tree. What I am trying to understand is my ficus conditions got worse somewhile ago and I thought its roots grown too much which I thought it is necessary to change its pot. It was with me for eight years and I have never changed its pot before. So I draw conclusion from your comments that I should not change its pot while it was in poor condition. Just moving it outside in a half shaded place with the same pot would be sufficient. Am I right? It still grows new leaves but you are saying that they will be gone eventually?

You are correct. Never work on a tree if it isnt in full healt.I asume yours barely learned to survive inside. When you transplaned it the problem occured so you have the answer. You should have kept it outside without pruning for a year for it to fill with energy. I also dont like the soil you used - seems the potting soil, but this is the last problem. You tree is now behaving like mine did when it was in a too bright area and the pot became too hot (i guess 50-60 degrees celsius). The roots were kooked. It was still growing new leaves but eventualy died in 2 weeks. Thats also how you learn. Graham Poter said that he learned his biggest lessons when he lost his trees.

I thought ficus bonsais can be taken care of inside of the house as well. I understand from your comments it is not a best option to grow it inside. I would love to have another bonsai to grow inside of my house but if it is not rational, I will not have another one. I also have a garden but in winter time ?stanbul temperature around 6 celcius degrees.

Let's not use the word 'bonsai' for a moment. We're talking about Ficus and the requirements for Ficus.
Ficus should do OK indoors, but if the climate is right, it will do better outdoors where the conditions are better.

Repotting was not wrong, if you have kept the roots intact, without making any damage.
Did you notice anything while repotting, any issues with the roots like roots being soft/mushy, smelly, falling off easily?

Its one thing to survive and another to prosper. If you look in abandoned houses in the countries or temples - you might see plants growing inside, but not trees. Have trees in the garden. The winters whereyou live are warmer than in my place. I have 0 degrees and very strong wind. I never lost a tree because of this - impatience and lack of knowledge are the strongest tree deseases.
