Please help.
2006/05/03 19:47
One of my friends recently purchased a 7 year old bonsai off of amazon with a gift card. when its health began to decline, turning yellow on the side facing the sun, he gave it to me in hopes that i could help. Ive done what i can for it so far, it looks healthy at the base, and is draining properly. I live in a humid/temperate/hot climate in texas, so this may impact the behavior of the plant. I water it once every two days, or when it the soil is dry on the surface (technically below the gravel on the top).
My question is this: what is wrong? My father is the associate dept. head of the texas ag. extention service, and is very knowledgable in plant diseases, funguses and pests, and says that this plant shows no sign of anything he knows of. I am thinking it may be needed to be moved outside, but i was just wondering if i should in the summer (june-sept). it gets up past 100 in my part of town. Any help is appreciated
Stats:
Age: 7.5 years
Height: approx 5 inches from the top of the soil
Type: Juniper Procumbens "nana" (i think)
Potted: Medium pot. approx 3or4 X 5or6 inches. soil covered with a gravel, and one stone resting on top.
Position: Indoors next to window with blinds down but partially open to allow for bright but indirect sunlight
Visible problem: Turning yellow on the side and tips on top facing the sunlight. The underside is still a relatively healthy green and side not facing the sun is still getting some growth
please help
