I rang my plant doctor – a friend who has a nurseryman background and who also gave me my Bonsai for my 50th the year before last.
It’s not looking well and I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It’s not been burnt from the sun as the leaves aren’t turning brown from the top down, but are turning brown from the bottom up. It is being watered regularly but not sitting in water all day long.
It gets the morning sun but not the hot afternoon sun. It is sheltered from most of the wind.
Anyway, guess I’ll wait and see what the ‘doc’ has to say – he did tell me over the phone he’d come and pick it up and nurse it for me for about a month, and repot it as he felt it was probaby due for that. I hope he can nurse it back to health and tell me what I’ve been doing wrong.
