I bought myself my first bonsai several months ago, spent a good amount of $ for a beautiful Japanese Maple...Full of leaves, healthy, and green
it's been a struggle, I 've had MAPLE out side ( I live in Florida) and now she still looks sick, I water her every day, spritz her leaves and no change.
is this just a seasonal thing, or is she dying?
thanks

First, it belongs outside. Next you must learn how to water. Check every day and water when needed. I don't know what spritz is if you mean spraying then I would stop it. As we are in autumn the leaves are supposed to die.

As far as I know, it is hard to keep japanese maple in Florida. I would recommend to find a bonsai club in your area and ask how they treat it. Japanese maple need a clear winter period, and are of temperate origin. So keeping one in the tropics is tricky.

Hi Thank You for your reply
there are no 名媛直播 clubs here
I do live in North Florida near Destin and we often get colder temps in the( Winter 30degree)
I give it a try and see, I have a healthy Maple in the backyard for years, so maybe " Maple" will make it here with me.

30 degres sounds warm to me. But maybe for you living in the tropics that is cold. For me, my house is not even heated to 30 degrees.
There are A LOT of bonsai clubs in Florida, als in North Florida.
