PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY POOR BONSAI!!!!!! was created by SophieK

Posted 8 years 2 months ago #26894
Hi I have a pohutukawa bonsai that I got about a month ago.
Over the last couple weeks most of the leaves have gone dry, pale and have curled up and have brown spots on them.
But the leaves at the very ends of the branches are still green and are wilting!?
The dry leaves are very fragile and have started falling off.
PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG! :(
I've attached a before picture and some after pictures so you can see what I mean.
Thanks :)

There is only one picture, which I assume is before. I have never heard of this species but as you have it inside I assume it must be tropical. How have you been watering? Where is is positioned? How much sun does it get?
You need to check every day to see if it has dried out and water when needed.

I have a pohutakawa too. I'm pretty sure it's not tropical because there is a lot of pohutakawa trees around where I live (New Zealand) and they're all outside including mine and they grow really well. It should get a fair amount of sunlight. Maybe around 4-5 hours. These trees like being a bit dry before being watered. I assume your tree is dying because it's inside. Put it outside ASAP.

Thanks for that. We do not know where the other poster is. But yes outside, and correct watering.

You still don't say where you are, Southern hemisphere Northern? It makes a difference. Alo have you watered it? Looks as if it could have got very dry. Also as was said earlier it should be outside depending on what ountry you are in. If you do a search you will find information about this genera, the exact species only you can look for
