Ginseng bonsai... She's dropping some leaves, not as often probably 2x a week? I'm still confused about her watering. It's she supposed to stay moist or dry in between? She's on pure Akadama substrate. She's a month old with me. She's under 16 hours of grow light. I'm kind of worried. Any tips?
Wow that soil composition I have never seen before. Try not to move it maybe repot into a better soil composition. One of my bonsai’s dropped its leafs but they came back over time.

좋아요 1개 Akadamas are used for bonsai. It was on organic succulent mix 2 weeks (or a week) ago, and it was dropping more leaves. Also, to avoid root-rot. Do you keep yours moist or dry in between watering? I haven't nailed that part yet.

All of my ficus get upset for a while after they get moved or repotted, that can make it drop leaves. I would just let it be for a while and let it get used to its new space. A 100% akadama mix is a bit unusual, so make sure it’s getting enough water. I’d keep it moist while it’s acclimating.

좋아요 1개It's normal for ficus to drop leaves intermittently, so it's nothing to worry about unless it's dropping them unusually fast
