Hello everyone,
I'm new here and also new to bonsai. I was given a Chinese Elm as a present last August. It was doing well initially but by November it started to shed leaves. It will then grow small green leaves but these leaves will dry out and drop in about a week. This keeps happening throughout the winter. A month ago (Feb) the new leaves showed some signs of growing bigger but would eventually dry out and drop again.
The plant lives indoors and is watered when the soil feels dry (about once a week).
What can I do? Should I apply fertilizer now that's it's spring?
Many thanks for your help in advance!
