About 4-5+ years ago, my grandmother took me to get a cute little bonsai tree.
Only, we didn't get a little tree. We got the biggest one they had (that's just who she was!). Years later, it's sitting in my room and I notice that the poor thing breaks when touched. It's still mostly green and has seemed quite healthy as long as I've had it: tons of growth, lots of green, with massive, sweeping branches. It's a sort of evergreen, though it could be European spruce or Japanese cryptomeria. As the botanist recommended frequent misting (which I stopped doing about a year back when my dad took my spray bottle and I never replaced it... whoops...), it's probably the Japanese cryptomeria. Only as of checking this site did I ever realize that they need to be repotted every few years. I don't think I'm overwatering it, as it has a drainage area in the bottom. I water once every 3 days or so. I also didn't realize that they need plant food... Clearly, I'm no botanist myself.
Right now, my plant is still 85% green and extremely fragile, and has been that way for a while. It's only gotten so extremely breakable very recently. So my question is: should I mist it with plant food until it gets stronger, then repot? Or does it need to be repotted ASAP? Or is it just too late for the poor thing?
