How do you save a dying bonsai tree?

Answer 1

Check for dryness. Water when the soil surface feels slightly dry to the touch. To water, place your potted bonsai in a pan with one to two inches of water and soak until the soil feels moist. Remove from water and drain. Never allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Answer 2

The tree is probably dying because it doesn't have enough nutrients in the soil, or it doesn't have enough water. The tree should be regularly sprayed with a spray bottle. The soil can be purchased at Home Depot.

Answer 3

All you have to do is buy a pre-potted bamboo plant at a store. I know that Walgreens had them the last time I was there. All you do is fill the little pot with water until the pebbles inside are completely submurged in water. Just check it everyday and make sure the plant has enough water, and it should do fine.

• Flush out salt or mineral buildup on the soil surface: Water heavily from the top to allow water to drain through.

• Fertilize every other month with a balanced fertilizer at half the recommended strength. Do not fertilize your flowering bonsai when in bloom.

• Check the foliage regularly for insect pests. If present, wash upper and lower leaf surfaces with a soapy water solution or treat with a household plant insecticide.

• Prune your bonsai to maintain plant shape and create a bushier plant. Prune by pinching off the ends of new tips. You can use herb tips and peppers for seasonings.

• During the winter, place your bonsai in a bright, cool (but draft-free), humid room. Ideal temperatures are 45-55 F. To increase humidity, set the plant in a decorative tray filled with pebbles. Add water to a level just below the bottom of the pot.

• Repot your bonsai every two to three years. Gently remove the bonsai from its pot and the soil from around the root ball. Cut off one-third of the entire root system. Replant your bonsai in fresh soil mix and water thoroughly.

You water it, fertilize once a month, prune and trim roots and leaves, repot it every 2-5 years...
