It may be that your azalea is having an indignation session after being moved from a snuggly glasshouse to a store to your room. First up - have a look at the potting mix. Often little azaleas are shipped in mix with a high peat content because it's lighter. However, indica azaleas seem to prefer something that both holds moisture - and lets the excess drain away. They are not fond of being deeply planted, or being in too big a pot. You mention that you can see roots sticking out. It is possible that it was poorly planted in the first place and, with things looking a little dire at present it could be worth repotting. The yellow balls you see may be slow release fertiliser balls. They can look ominous. If you squash one there's a sort of shell left and the inside is often semi liquid. If you are going to have a go at repotting choose a plastic container with at least one, thumb-wide hole in the bottom - or plenty of holes. Let it be no deeper than three inches and no more than half an inch wider than the root ball. Choose a potting mix with no water crystals, and little to no fertiliser. Go for one that suits acid-loving plants. Also get some sharp grit that's about 1-2mm (millimetres) diameter. NOT sand. Allow about one handful of grit to two of mix. If you're concerned about mix drifting through the holes - line the pot with a facial tissue. It will let water through and eventually rot away. Into the new pot put in about an inch of your well-stirred mix'n'grit. Tap the pot on the bench to settle it a little. Make a mini-cone of more mix in the middle of the pot. Gently take your wee plant from its present container and let the old dirt fall off. It is absolutely important that you leave the roots alone: no snipping. Trickle in the mix to barely cover the roots. No poking or pressing, please. It's done when the stem is clear, there is a small slope on the mix away to the edges of the pot, and the roots are thinly covered. Now put the pot into a container of tepid water and wait until the bubbles stop rising. Bring it out, let it drain, add a little more mix if watering has revealed any roots. Then cover the surface with more grit - leaving the trunk clear. On the matter of sunlight: I am accepting that Arizona sunlight and summer temps can be more than I get - although our UV ratings are horrendous due to holes in the ozone layer. That being so - indicas will take a fair amount of direct morning sunshine - and like to be in fresh air. It helps for them to get that sun as it seems to greatly improve flowering. If you can put your plant outside during the day over spring and summer - even into autumn - it will be healthier. A north-east location may suit best. They are frost tolerant to around -5C although the flowers turn to mush when it's that cold. What you may find is that you get dieback on the present stem structure and new growth coming from the base of the plant. You will have to start over with reshaping, though. It takes AGES for an azalea's roots to colonise a pot so be knowing that you'll need to take care when moving the plant. No fertiliser until March. Let it get its breath back... When azaleas dry out they can develop leaf gall. It's better to water by plunging the pot as you do when repotting than trickling water on with a watering can because that fine root mass can shed water better than a raincoat. Remember to turn your plant a quarter each week so it grows evenly. Later on - in a year or even a little longer, you can think about putting it back into a formal bonsai pot. There's no rush. Good luck ;-).

Your posting gives no clue as to the variety of bamboo or your location/zone (Arizona, Miami, Boise, Manila?). High summer is really not a good time of the year to be doing major transplanting. (But you may already know this and had no choice I understand.) I would urge you NOT to move the bamboos again. They may well acclimate eventually to their new home. I have had to move bamboo in non-prime times of the year as well (I moved last year). Your bamboos may continue to defoliate. Don't panic at this point. If you keep them well watered, chances are that they will refoliate eventually.--Give them time and be patient. I can say this on the basis of personal experience with plants that I too assumed were goners. I would refrain from fertilizing until growth resumes. And next time try to do any transplanting in early spring before new growth begins. (For me this means March or April.)--Good luck!

Sorry to disagree with Pat: I also think putting both pots in front of the window is a shock. I would have left them between the windows where you had them to begin with. That corner was too dark for jades. They like lots of light and will grow much better in front of the window. Unless they were in very dark conditions for a while and are moved suddenly into very sunny spot (I do not believe that is possible in winter, in Michigan), there should be no problem. Moving plants into strong sunlight from indoors could cause sunburn, and plants should be acclimatized. I believe Steven meant moving the plants from place to place - like from a store, where it sat for a while, to a house...Some plants will respond by dropping many leaves when location is changed (ficus Benjamina is known for doing that). Personally, I do not have that experience with jades. And I move them around a lot.

looks severely sunburned ... i would tip it out of the pot.. and look at the roots ... if rotted.. be done with it ... if active with new growth ... i would put it back in the pot.. and water properly for a month or 3.. and see if new leaves appear ... any leaf with green can still process light into energy ... and i would only cut one off for each new one that emerges .. if in 2 or 3 months.. its settled down.. destressed.. i would repot it as suggested above ... i dont like to heap stress upon stress .. lets deal with one at a time ... if you want to go thru all that.. or any derivation therein ... just to see if you can save it.. go for it.. but if its going to piss you off every time you look at it.. just be done with it.. and move on to a new plant .... ken
