Little help with Jaboticaba bonsai

[DavidAZ1989]

Hello everyone! Thanks for viewing my post and offering your insights. I’m new to bonsai and started 6 months ago, I have two golden gate ficus microcarpa’s and this Jaboticaba, I’m having some little difficulty with the Jaboticaba, overall it’s been healthy but I’m noticing browning tips of the leaves and some leaf dropping. I’m not sure if this is due to the time of year or something I’m doing wrong. I purchased this tree in October of this year and I want to get it as healthy as possible. I currently have brought it inside due to colder weather now in Arizona. I have it under a fluorescent growlight half the day and I water it every few days, I also mist the foliage most days of the week. I’ll attach pictures of the trees. I also should mention I have been treating the trees with neem oil in the soil and insecticidal soap both organic from bonide due to medium springtail population in the soils.

Welcome to Bonsainut! Great trees to work on. It sounds like you're on the right path for treatment, maybe others will chime in. I'm guessing you'll be good after the adjustment period

Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m getting hooked on these trees. I have pictures attached in the post if you want to look at them. I’m not sure if you can see them.

My Jabuticaba also gets brown fringes on the leaves inside. I have decided it is the dry air inside (With mine living on top of the central heating). The leaves that grow indoors do not have this as much. Outside it does not happen so far.

I've had a jabuticaba for a year or so and my tree's foliage looked similar to yours. I was told by a few more experienced practitioners here in FL that it is normal to have browning on older foliage.

FWIW...my tree is outside and has pushed new growth over the past two weeks. We had a short spell of 50 degree nights (two of them) with most night time temps around 65ish and day time high's in the low 80s. Typical "winter" in my area.

Thank you so much for the reply’s and guidance, I’m hearing that these trees do this during fall time.
