Bonsai Care

Is your bonsai dropping leaves?

If you bonsai is dropping leaves, there are a few different reasons why this could be happening:

Symptoms	What to do next	Image
Reacclimatising  (Very common and nothing to worry about)	– Normally happens within 2 months of receiving/moving your bonsai – Older leaves will drop (those closer to the trunk) – Newer (often a lighter green) leaves will start growing at the ends of the branches	– Please give your bonsai some time to acclimatise to its new location.  – Keep the soil just damp to the touch at all times. – It can often take 4-6 weeks before new buds appear
Underwatering  (very common and  very serious)	– Often during hotter periods, but can happen at any time of the year – Older and newer leaves are effected – Leaves go yellow/brown and crispy – Symptoms are displayed fairly quickly	– Please stand your bonsai in a container of water for 1 hour so the water just covers the top of the pot.  – Please watch our watering video and keep the soil damp at all times – It can often take 6-8 weeks before you see any signs of improvement
Overwatering (less common and slightly serious)	– Often during cooler periods, but can happen any time of the year – Older and newer leaves are effected – Leaves go black/brown – Symptoms for overwatering can take a while to show	– Please watch our watering video and keep the soil just damp at all times – It can often take 6-8 weeks before you see any signs of improvement

If the tabs above don’t answer your question, we are here to help.

We regret that we are unable to refund or exchange any bonsai after 7 days of delivery. This is because they are live plants and we find that after this time they have been out of our care for too long.
However, we are always here to help; if you have any questions about your bonsai, please send us some photos. Thank you for your understanding.
