Answer 1

I suggest there are dozens of sites for that info using a general WWW browser search.

The pace and the tedium of Bonsai don't strictly suit me, but I respect the patience in those who can endure it.

I also have a feeling,,,,and since you don't state the type of tree,,, that Conifers fare far better as Bonsai, than deciduous trees.

So, I would recommend you take a sample. Be it a needle or leaf and some detailed picks of the branches if possible. Then proceed to your local book store. Find the gardening section and the bonsai books within. Flip threw the books until you find a pick that looks like yours. Most books have species identification sections. I don't recommend you do this on line because I have found some picks are miss labeled and cold lead you astray.
So, Now that you have your plants name you should be able to find species specific instructions within the same books. Follow them as best you can.
You can also find help threw your local bonsai club. The American bonsai society can help you locate a club near you. I can guarantee they will be able to help you cost free. You can find them on line also.
Some plants don't like misting and overfeeding.
Over watering can cause leaf drop.
Keep your plant from dying out but don't soak it.
If its tropical keep it indoors and everything else stays out side.
Hope this helps and good luck.

It sounds like its bored of life, I can see its point. We should all take its fine example and undergo our own forms of autolysis.

Answer 5

too much direct sunlight?
