Funny how a plant can get forgotten when you have so many, and not funny HAHA, I hate losing any of my babies for any reason.
This one faltered about three months ago, went dry on the new growth, anyway I cut it back and the new growth did the same just now.
I did a dirt inspection and now for the life of me cannot remember where or when I got this plant, whether it was given to me or I have dug it up somewhere coz' the dirt it was in was certainly not my dirt and possibly the reason for its decline, sandy gluggy mess, anywooo a quick re-pot today????HMMMMM,I hope it pulls through, have given it new dirt and a seasol soak, what else can a bonsai doctor do?

Sit it in a tray of water - have never lost a repotted mel after this tip was passed on to me. I keep some in a tray of water all the time.
Regards Tony

Hi Watty,
I'm with Tony on this one. I would sit it in a water tray and give it a drink of Seasol at least 3 times a week. I have a few at the moment recovering from being worked on and they are coming back fine.
Regards Ray

One Day i will know something, but most likely it will be to do with nothing.
