Beginner need urgent help! was created by rob-bonsai

Posted 8 years 3 months ago #26100
Hey there,
My sister got me a bonsai for my birthday but I'm a total novice and struggling to look after it, I'm also not sure what species it is.
It started growing mould on the soil so I moved it into the light more. I'm just not sure how wet the soil should be and stuff. The leaves are wilting but I don't know if it's too much water or not enough!
Can anyone tell me what type it is?

Looks like there's room between the block of soil and the pot. If that is correct, it seems the soil has been let dry out completely and will now no longer properly hold water. If so, you'd have to repot.

Not real sure but kind of looks like an olive tree to me. Would have to see closer picture of leaves...just a guess though.

Once a tree lokos like this, it normally does not come back. I am afraid this plant is dead.
As it is very dry now, I would water with lukewarm water, which will easier penetrate the rootbal. An alternative is a 20 minute soak in water. But as said.. It looks like a goner to me. :(
