maple bonsai problem

Hi all, I just started growing bonsai seriously this past spring. I've read a plethora of posts to this forum that were immensely helpful as I learned the basics, so I'm hoping y'all can help with a more specific issue. I recently moved to San Diego (10b) and, with the new growing space I now...

I'm very, very, new to the art of bonsai, and have very little experience and knowledge. I had two pine sprouts last year, and they were doing well until I went abroad and my mother didn't water them. This year, I've germinated a maple, and it was growing find but now looks quite sad, and the...

Hey just looking for some insight on this JM. Not sure if root rot or possibly some issue that happened during winterizing. Any help is always greatly appreciated. Roots are dark but not mushy. New growth came in strong but is really wilted. Everything is just drooping downwards. No...

The leaves on both of my maples have a waxy look to them. Any thoughts on what this is or why it’s occurred? Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, little background on this maple. Hey traded for an Alberta spruce in late April of 2021. I didn’t think anything of the maple at the time as I still had some maples that were waking up. Now that we are in the very last few days of spring in the PNW. I believe there is something...

So I purchased a small maple about 3 weeks ago and I'm not sure if it was a bad graft, or I just can't keep it alive or what but it's already dead. I watered it about every 2-3 days depending and was in about 6 hours of direct sun. It never actually budded or shown any signs of new leaves coming...

Hello everyone, the edges of the new shoots of my Sangokaku, Bi-Hoo and Deshojo japanese maples are turning black and I dont know why. I dont think they will mature properly, if I do nothing theyll probably just die. Maybe it looks like Im overreacting to you, but I just had to burn my largest...

Hey Friends, I have another question, I’ve noticed some drooping foliage on my large maple, I checked the soil and was extremely dry, it has been a weird winter in Seattle, spring temps have come early and left. So the watering has been inconsistent. Can you guys look at the image of the cut...

Hey so I've been experimenting with this field maple for a little while and in the past week or so i've noticed these black marks on the tips of most of the leaves. What would you recommend I do and what do you think is causing it. I potted it up in a large container with standard soil for...

Hello all! I've done a little research on Bonsai and recently went to a nursery and picked up a maple for $20. The lady who sold it to me just said it was a maple, I think we had a language barrier. I cut it down a bit but was looking for some advice on next steps for this tree. Should I...

Hi guys, Hope you all well. I have given 30 years old maple bonsai tree, 3 weeks ago. And already have blackened trunks but not as bad as this. 3 weeks ago still have new small trunks and small leaves to start growing. Last week i have repotting the tree, cutting a lot of roots, with hope i...
