Hi, I am a total amateur so don't be too harsh on me. I'm not native so I'm sorry for bad Englando. One day I read an article about bonsais and I thought to myself that I should make one just for fun. I bought some seeds, had them in a refridgerator for 2 months or so then I planted them and got one tree growing (1/3 of the seeds). This is probably not important. I think its japanese maple.

So first year went OK as if I can say, I had my beloved bonsai in a bottle cap for some time, it normally grew had leaves etc., after a few months I repotted it to a bigger pot (not much wider but a lot deeper than the cap). It lost its leaves around winter (they turned red, crispy, dead), like any other leave tree does before winter, right? Does this happen to indoor bonsais as well? Anyway I made a mistake and let it on my window above the heater. But it looked like the tree survived my actions.
Spring this year came and the bonsai had some... those things leaves come of, can't remember the word for it. Well it was mid-summer and still no leaves came, so I got kind of worried because when I looked through a window I saw other trees happily playing with their leaves and other kids, but my still had no leaves, so I thought it was gone thanks to the heat, so I read some more articles and they said I should scrape the bark (it's like 1 - 2mm wide), so I did. It was still green, yay! But it didn't satisfy me, so I repotted it into a slightly bigger pot. In the end of summer the tree got it's first leave that year but it felt off, still green, after like 2 days. It just felt off. The leaf looked perfectly healthy but who am I to judge right. So this year my bonsai had 1 (!) leaf for only 1 or 2 days. I tried some fertilizers (before the leaf felt off - I dont know if it felt off because of the fertilizer or if the leaf grew thanks to the fertilizer).
Any ideas? I think the bonsai got confused because it was in a room temperature the whole winter, so... it had no winter. The branch is still quite flexible so I think its not dead yeat but I dont want to torture it anymore with a knife.

No need of telling me I know nothing about bonsais etc. I know that I know nothing.
Thanks

I'm sorry. You suddenly decided to do bonsai, did no do any research at all and did just about everything wrong that you can do wrong.
Maples do not belong indoors. While it can be fun to grow trees from seed, bonsai are rarely grown from seed as it takes far too long . Seedlings are not grown in bottle caps. 名媛直播 are not created by keeping young trees in very small pots. A seedling in a bottle cap will not become a bonsai, it will die. What you have is not a bonsai, it is a young tree. It takes many years to grow that into usable material (think at least 15 years for decent material).

Your plant is dead. It produced a last leaf from its last resources. That leaf dropped. The plant cannot produce any energy for itself, the energy it had stored will be depleted. That energy comes from the leaves, not from the fertilizer. Fertilizing it now is useless.

rip

why did it trop the last leaf?
well I will keep it until spring and will update if you were or werent right, thanks for your reply

Plants can be stupid some times. Maybe it wasn't getting much energy from the leaf so it 'decided' to take as much back from it as possible then drop it.

got any pictures?

Your seedling is dead. Try again with bigger material, go to garden centre and buy a plant that is alive and you can prune. You do not say what country you are in it helps a lot.

im from czech republic, central europe

i do not have pictures but its a flexible stick in a ground with some 'dry' buds (4)

cant edit last post

it dropped it literally a day or two later, the leaf looked completely fine, green af, i could say it wasnt even fully unfolded yet
maybe it was too hot? we had some hot days back then, maybe sun made it drop? sigh

thanks for your replies

Sounds like the way I started... 名媛直播 is a completely under estimated art in western culture (specially in the U.S.). You need to put work and dedication, a lot of it.

Don't worry bonbon, some of us learn that way. We are too eager, too impatient, to go and try something. 名媛直播 will teach you that patience is important and joyful.

well I did what I could. I have no other way of learning how to bonsai we have no bonsai clubs or whatever here. I wouldnt say I was impatient. I did what the articles/book I bought said ^^

i dont want to buy a bonsai from a store, that feels kinda, i dont know, fake to me
