Please Help: Bonsai leaves curling and drying out
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2019 9:47 pm
Hi all. I am completely new to bonsais, and I'm actually plant-sitting for my mum while she's travelling. Its barely been 4 days and I notice that the bonsai I'm caring for is drying out. its leaves are looking dry, curling up and falling off.
Help! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Her instructions were to spray water twice a day on the leaves and on the soil with a spray bottle, which I have been doing daily.
I tried googling for answers but I don't know which species of bonsai this is, and whether I would be doing more harm than good. Hence I'm turning to the good people here for help please.
I don't want to kill my mum's plant before she returns, and any help would be so very much appreciated.
Thank you very very much. I've attached pictures of the leaves and the bonsai.
It never looked like this before, I'm worried.
