If you want an indoor tree, get a ficus or schefflera. They are indoor bonsai.

Howdy,
it is definately a light issue.this is a perfect example of the need for supplemantal lighting indoors. basically the reason one side of your tree was dieing off was because the new branches weren't making enough energy for the plant and it was opting to put strenth into the optimal energy producing branches.put it outside and it will be happy

Hi there kr22,

Welcome to the forum...so glad you could join us!

I agree with the guys...it is an outdoor plant and that's where it needs to be. Unfortunately some stores and garden centres will sell you a bonsai and tell you it can be grown indoors when in reality, it can't. I had the same experience a few months ago when a garden centre sold me a Juniper and they told me it could be grown indoors when, in fact, it needed to be outdoors. The reason being is they need to harden off in the fall as the weather cools and go into a dormant state to prepare for winter. If they are kept indoors, they can't go into dormancy and the tree begins to suffer. Only tropical and sub-tropical trees can be (and must be) kept indoors.

The first and most important thing anyone must do when they acquire a new bonsai tree is to research the plant to find out where it originally comes from and what specific needs it requires. Here is a link with that information on your specific plant.

Also, if you could share a clear, close-up photo of the white stuff on your little tree it would be a huge help to us in helping you to identify the problem. Hope this helps.

Dear Man of the Trees, Leslie and everyone,

Thank you very much for all your helpful comments! I have now put my 名媛直播 outside and hope it will be much happier

Here is a picture of the white stuff on some of the leaves of my 名媛直播:

Thank you 4 ur comment. I will put it outside and see what happens

Thanks

Beside outside: If you have the space: Place it in full-soil. Especially with winter around the corner, it is better off in full soil. Dont place it in the garden after end of Sept, as then it will not have time to establish itself before the first winterfrist hits it in late oct.
