Hi everyone, I’ve just added this app as I’m having a little spot of trouble. I love bonsais and I saw this one in the shop looking worse for wear. I bought it to try and save the poor thing as I love the shape of the trunk and branches. I’ve put her in a slightly bigger pot and given her a good watering. Any advice at all to bring her back? Label says it’s a carmona

She is probably just dormant she will perk back up in the spring would be my guess

Thank you, this is my first of this kind so wasn’t sure. I also have a maple and chinese elm :)

Sadly I’ve done a bark test on this and she has sadly died. RIP Maggie, you were beautiful even without your leaves 😢
