I think my bonsai is dying - Help!
Comments (1)I learned the hard way. Juniper can't live indoors. Mine died a couple of weeks ago. They require too much light. If the green parts are turning brown, it is probably too late. Gradually acclimate to outside and let it live outdoors....See Morehelp my bonsai is dying!!!!!
Comments (22)I just joined this forum to post a similar posting, so I'll add something here in hopes of a response. I have two olive tree bonsais that I have had since late last fall. Recently I've been leaving them outside, watering them every couple days by doing a 20-30 minute soak in a tray of water. In the last few days the leaves have rolled up tight and are feeling very dry, though not browning and not completely brittle. Does anyone have a suggestion for bringing them back? I've brought them inside. I'm not sure if I've underwatered or overwatered or baked them in our michigan heatwave. I've also been giving them a soak every 10-14 days in a water bath with seaweed/fish fertilizer (1tsp/5cups). The last thing I'd mention is that recently some sprouts have started forming in the base of one of my trees. It's weird. I don't know if a bird planted something or if these seeds were accidentally put into the soil when someone potted these bonsai. I'm including a link to pictures of my sad olive bonsai trees.

It is hard to tell what did this tree in, but so often it is overwatering. This species(perhaps procumbens nana) can survive in pretty harsh, dry climates. ez...See MoreMy ginseng crafted ficus bonsai is dying :(
Comments (2)Much darker in a home than outside in the shade by comparison. Drier air too. It would be so much easier outside. I have Ficus Bonsai outdoors and easy to keep Very easy....See MoreUser
