We got rid of the infected orange tree so it no longer poses a threat. The bonsai tree sits in a north facing window. It gets morning sun and shade after noon. The window stays open almost 100% of the time unless it's particularly chilly at night. I check the moister of the soil at least twice a day and water as necessary. I have been using indoor plant food by miracle-gro occasionally but I have read not to feed it if it seems to be in distress. It's definitely in distress. Please help!
By the way, I live in Union City, California (bay area, very mild weather).

It is possible. You should not water by a schedule. Water when needed, let the soil dry, but don't let it dry out completely.
Follow the guidelines for your mallsai, as described in the 'tree species' guide on this website.

Posted 8 years 3 months ago #26083I am a nervous wreck about repotting. I suspected that it was something I needed to do but I didn't know I would have to do it so soon after I got it. I will do the research needed before attempting this. Fingers crossed. Thank you so much for your help.

Posted 8 years 3 months ago #26084If you want to create a real bonsai out of this, you'.lneed lots of growth, so a larger pot would be a first step in the future development of this mallsai.
