Help - Raspberry dying was created by jujubasss

Posted 7 years 7 months ago #33006
Hello my friends, I'm from Brazil and I have some doubts and I hope I do not waste your time.

One and a half years ago I won from a friend this little plant but unfortunately I never had much time to take good care of it. I only watered whenever I thought it necessary (when the earth began to dry) and a while ago I put a 10/10-10 NPK fertilizer that I had around here because I thought it was very down. I just changed jobs and I have much more free time to invest in this little plant that I want to go forward and one day to become a very beautiful bonsai.

I watched a lot of videos on youtube and I was able to learn something, but as a beginner, I always get scared before doing anything ... Especially because the plant is not very healthy.

I would like to ask here some directions of what you would do in my place to leave this guy on the right path, it may be just a tip, a criticism, something .. and I know it takes a lot of time and patience, but I am Willing to invest the time and I want to do it right.

I bought this week a substrate 70/30 and tools.

General information:

Temp: 14 ~ 25C
Humidity: 75% +
Sun: In the place where the plant is, moderate sun from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and intense from 12 p.m. to 16 p.m.
Wind: alot

Watering: As the plant came in a common land and retains a lot of moisture, I usually water every other day and if by chance the soil begins to dry before that, I give the plant more water

Pruning: I never did
Roots: Almost taking the whole pot, but i would say that there is no more room to grow

Age: 3.5 years

I'm adding some photos and again, thanks for your time and help.
Photos:
p.s: Sorry, my english is not that good :(

Welcome to the Empire - but sorry, I do not think Raspberry is suitable for bonsai.

Hi, jujubasss, I am from Brazil also.
Bem vinda ao Forum!
Unfortunately I think Auk is right, Raspberry is not a good plant for bonsai.
There are a lot of trees suitable for bonsai here in Brazil; Caliandras, Ficuses, Serissas, Pomegranates, Jabuticabas...
Anyway, yours is a young plant and if you manage to save it, good, keep it (but not for bonsai).
Send me a message in Portuguese if you need more help.
