Can anyone give me any advice, the issue is present on one branch of my bonsai tree. I noticed at the start of the week, some of my leaves are starting to look like this.
I cut them all off but today there are even more leaves looking like that.

My Bonsai tree is a Ligustrum

Thanks for your help.

You will have to give a bit more information, where are you? Which species is it? Where do you keep it? How are you watering it?
Answer these and we may be able to help.

Hi Geoff. thanks for your reply. Im in Glasgow ( Scotland ) its a Ligustrum - privet, its near a window which is south/west facing so it gets the sun.
i water it when every its dry normally every 2/3 days etc.

ive had it since January and this is only a recent issue

thanks for your help.

Ok, if it is a normal Privet then it is hardy and should not be inside. I would be surprised if the plant does not dry out quicker than that, and I think you should be watering more often. Check with a chopstick if it comes out dry or clean then it needs water. Also when watering put the pot in a bowl of water and wait for the bubbles to stop before draining and putting back. The problem could be a number of things but most likely it is cultural, and will be cured once this is corrected. If it is Chinese Privet, then it is not hardy. You need to know which it is and from the leaves it could be anything,
Geoff.

sorry i forgot to say its a Chinese privet, it has been watered more regularly during the spring/summer months.

Provoding you are watering I don't think there is any problem. Leaves do die, and unless there are a lot more dying then I would not be worried. It could be that now you have your heating on and the air is much srier it has changed the environment. Keep it well watered, don't alow it to get dry and keep it in as much light as you can and hopefully it will be fine. Spray the leaves occasionally also if you can this will increase the humidity around it.
Have a look at bonsai4me.com for species guides.

Keeping on a tray of damp gravel will also raise local humidity, indoor trees need to be as near to a window as they possibly can be to benefit from maximum daylight, bear in mind too that if you close curtains at night and the tree is between curtain & window that will cause a big temperature drop which is unwelcome.

thanks dave, ill try the damp gravel. yeah i never leave my tree behind the curtains at night, i always move my tree onto a unit when im closing my blinds at night
