Hi

My fukien get always the white flowers but they always die after 1-2 days..what I'm doing wrong?

Nothing. By you're picture, looks like you're doing a good job sofar. A flower will only bare fruit or seed(s) if it's pollinated. Depending if they have both sides(male and female) or not. I'm not sure if the flowers on this tree can pollinate itself or not,but it's seems that they can't. I had some that did.. and some not.
Try this and see if it works for you.... take all the dead or dying flowers off( stems and all).. the ones that have opened or going to open leave on. If the flowers are on a branch, tap it so you see the flower move. Do this 3-4 times every day as many times as you can. If they are self pollinating, you will see it close up and a white or red fruit getting bigger. If it just shrinks up and the stems turn brown... take them off.
If the first try did nothing, you may need to pollinate it yourself. Get a small brush and when new flowers start, take the brush and go over one flower then go and brush over another flower. You are basically doing what bees and bugs do.
But,if nothing it's ok. The flowers take too much energy can be used by the tree for better things. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you so much ! That helps a lot and I'll try that!!

Was the question about why the flowers die after 2 days, or about how to gett the plant to bear fruit :huh:

The question was Why they dia buy o think it's related to what dcgc2017 said

I don't think so. The advise concerns pollinating the flowers to get fruits. It will not make the flowers not die, nor will it produce more flowers. On the contrary.

The flowers take a lot of energy to produce. You can take all the flowers off.. it will make more. If the flowers are not pollinated, they will die as they have no more purpose. My advice on pollinating the flowers is a test to see how vigorous the flowers are.And the flowers are not dead until it's finished making the fruit or seed . Not sure on how exactly, so i gave both ways of trying. One or two days then dies is not normal. Too much energy is being used and needs to be cut back some. And at some spots that was cut or did fruit, i did have more flowers at them spots than another on my trees.

This is the correct advise.

If flowers cost energy, fruit will even take more. Growing a tree indoors isn't ideal. I would not let the flowers on - and certainly not the fruit.

If the tree has enough leaves and flowers are controlled, i see no problem with having some flowers or fruit to grow healthy and strong. After all,that why it flowers in the first place.

Yes, but we are talking about bonsai. Above that, it is not the most easy species, and it is kept indoors.
Our main concern must be its health and growth. That? why we remove the flowers.
