Hey everyone,
I got two bonsai's lately and the leaves on one seem to be curing up and dying. I've only had it for about two weeks. Can someone please tell me whats wrong and also what type of bonsai it is as im unsure. I water it about once a day on a mist setting.

If you have only been misting then it is probably dying of thirst. You need to learn how to water, check every day and water when the surface if just dry. Use a rose on the can and soak the soil.
I hope it is outside not in.

Looks like a very poorly azalea, desperate for water.

The plant really doesn't know you're trying to simulate rain. Just water it properly.
I understand you move it regularly. Don't do that.

I have an azalea and it did the same thing when I gave it tap water and water from a hose. So I started giving it filtered water until I collected enough rain water and it bounced back within a couple days. I don't know what your climate is, but I would put it in a semi shaded area, water it with rain water, and let it be until I see it coming back. That means: NO - cutting, trimming, potting, or feeding.
This is just my opinion from what has worked for me.
