Personally, I think the lower growth isn't gonna be worth the energy to keep. I would focus things on the middle and top sections, maybe just trim off most of the current growth to force some budding in those sparse areas. Up to you though. Sick starter though!

Feed it this: Bonsai Food ... two times a month after a good watering.

I've purchase this product,

How do I know the type of soil I have when I bought this online?

Hi all! Back in early February I bought an Azalea bonsai from a vendor. He said it was 5 years old and in great health. He told me to never let the water pan ever be empty, give it 1-2 drops of fertilizer every month, give it filtered sunlight, and it will need re potting every 5 years. I put it in the kitchen and it was still vibrantly green and showing new growth, the pan had to be filled multiple times a day. Then something went wrong and it went wrong fast. About 3 weeks ago I gave it one drop of this fertilizer the vendor sold with the bonsai. The moss started to turn white but I know nothing on moss and thought it was just old moss dying. Then my leaves started turning brown and I just thought THAT was old leaves ending their life cycle. My husband said it was suffering because it needed to be pruned and I should've pruned it when the new growth was worming out, he used our kitchen scissors to trim it back to its original shape. It wasn't too out of shape, just new leaves sticking out wayward. I thought maybe my husband was right, the top half was still vibrant green with large leaves! The water was being sucked up still but slowly, now I go days without refilling... and this week those leaves went away.

Now my bonsai looks like this https://imgur.com/a/hval6yO

TL;DR

  • Had my bonsai for a little over 2 months and it's sick/dying

  • Seemed fine until I gave it its first fertilizing...

  • Received over six hours of sunlight, kitchen is always a moderate temperature

  • Bonsai water pan isn't draining as quickly anymore, is it too wet or just too sick?

  • Leaves went all brown, no sign of new buds

  • Moss turned white

  • Small scraps on branches show green flesh, so it's not totally dead yet

    Pics again, sorry for horrible quality https://imgur.com/a/hval6yO

    This is the fertilizer I was sold https://www.amazon.com/Dyna-Gro-BON-008-Bonsai-Pro-Liquid-Plant/dp/B009277LT0

    EDIT: The dish rack isn't there everyday. I just washed dishes and decided my bonsai really needs help, no dish water or soap has gotten into its pan or onto its leaves to my knowledge.

It's outdoors under my balcony so no direct sun for the most part.

I put my finger in and wait to water until the soil is dryish which is usually every other day.

I have this fertilizer that i mixed with a gallon of water according to the instructions. I usually use that water once a week. Don't have an balanced NPK though.

Thanks for the help btw.
