名媛直播

Hi All.
I aquired this bonsai tree a couple of months ago. Ive got no idea what type it is, if im looking after it propoerly/poorly or whats going on with it. It looks like its dying but is still very healthyat the bottom.... its positioned in the living room next to a window but not in any direct sun light... soil is slightly damp and watered about once a week or two. Can anyone help me bring this back to life, or does it shed its leaves during winter?? ive attached before and after pics.

Thanks everyone

While they often are sold as such, this is not a bonsai but a house plant. You do not need specific bonsai guidelines, but general guidelines for ficus.

Watering once in one or two weeks?
Are you checking every day if the soil is moist?
In my indoor conditions the substrate in the pot of the size like yours gets dry in 3 days.
It might be that you are not giving it enough water.
Did you ever fertilize it?

I had one just the same. I am pretty sure it is a Ficus and it looks like it has had grafts . I struggled with mine and firstly changed the soil mixture to something with less humus. I cant be sure, but I think it is from China and what they use for 名媛直播 soil is rubbish normally. I had a smaller one and a repot with Kyodama and granite chippings did it a power of good.. It is in my bathroom and is now about 30 years old and very healthy. The larger of the two was dealt with the same way and misting helped. It died in the end. I think the very bad grafting on mine left it open to infection. Mind you, that was over 30 years ago ,,,, like an idiot I left it too near a radiator over winter and that sealed its fate. Ikea used to sell a similar Ficus at Xmas one year.....all flash, no quality or previous care.. I am sure that extra light and a moist environment will help after repotting with less humus.

Search the forim. At least 5 active subjects of ficus in the same state.

Hi Dadogsgonads,
It turns out I have the same kind of tree as you and I am having the same problem - See my post:
I just wondered what steps you have taken to resolve the situation with your tree and do they seem to be working?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you
Paul
