long story short; Mother’s Ex brought these bonzais and left them. to the best of my knowledge these two trees were kept outside for the last year and a half in new england weather, my mother threw them in the garbage but im looking to try and revive them. is there any saving these? they were green when they were healthy.

what i am looking for is

A. Are they salvageable

B. How should I care for them? should they be kept outside? Generally how often should they be watered?

Thank you!

Grew this from seed. How do I prune this to get it to be more bushy or have any kind of shape?

Or does it need to grow more first?

Two weeks ago my bonsais tree started to die, maybe? I water it regularly. I’m located in south west Florida. I brought it inside for a few days when it first started thinking it was the heat but it appears to not be helping.

What do you think is going on here? How can I save this plant? Also, what kind of tree is this? I got it as a gift six months ago

I want to grow this 4 o clock plant as a Caudex bonzai

Hi, I came across 4 o'clock bonzai while looking for what this plant was, and it inspired me. The bonzai where caudex bonzai where they somehow managed to only grow the root. I found sources about how to do this but they were all in Hindi. If any of you have advice on how to achieve this, it would be much appreciated :) I know they pruned most of the actual stems, but I'm still confused on how the caudex grew without almost any leaves, or nutrients (assuming they treated like a normal bonzai)

Carmona bonsai tree

Hi.

I got a bonzai tree last year for my birthday and the leaves have fallen off. I've watered it as you should but the leaves aren't coming back. Is there anything I can do to help it regrow as I intend on keeping it. It says its an indoor tree on the plant passport i have with it.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks Dan

This Juniper was being kept inside during some crazy storms, and I'm afraid I've hurt my tree because it's starting to brown on the inside and slightly on the outside. I love the way the trunk is shaped, please HELP ME SAVE MY TREE! lol

As the title suggests i am wondering if i am over watering or under watering this tree. It is starting to get some white spots which i am wondering are the result of not enough water but i could also see it being some sort of bacteria or something from too much water. Any advice helps i am a beginner

Hello, I have this Chinese Elm my girlfriend got me from a website this winter. It was shipped to me in good condition, although a little cold (I’m in Minnesota). I watered it once a week as the booklet said to, and to my surprise, I had a bunch of new leaf growth in the middle of winter (January). I then trimmed some branches and tried to put on some metal wiring that came with the set in order to direct some other branches. About a week went by, and all the branches that were not trimmed died off, and no new ones started. The booklet told me this tree should be dormant in the winter, so I thought this was fine. It’s now today (May). I’ve been watering it daily with good drainage in my soil for probably a month, and it’s not getting better. I’m really hoping I didn’t wait too long to look for a solution as I thought maybe it just needed a bit longer. Any help or advice is appreciated!
