Question
New bonzai
I bought my bonsai 3 days ago and I don't know what type of tree it is
I've been spoiling it watering once a day and leaving it out In the moonlight,
And bringing it in the morning, taking off all aphids one by one keeping close eye.
3rd day the baby leaves start curling and browning on the edges. I leave it under my
Lamp for the remainder of the day. I really care for
My bonsai please give some advice.
AnswerDee,
Your bonsai is a bougainvillea plant. It loves the sun and does not like to be constantly wet. Keeping it outside at night will not help it. It needs to be out all day long in full sun. Bougies come from tropical islands near the equator. It cannot sunburn or get too hot. It should not be watered until the soil surface is dry and the plant feels lighter than it does right after you water it. It does not like it outdoors if the temperatures are below 50 degrees. So if the temperature is going to be beow 50 degrees it needs to come in that night. Good luck with your tree. If you have more questions feel free to write again.
