Hello,

I am just a fresher to dis art. Have been trying to learn it for a long time but have never been able to start. Dis site has really been of great help. It has helped me a great deal with the basics. Thanks.

welcome to the forum!

I have recently acquired a black pine sapling 4 weeks back. But i noted that for the last 3-4 days, leaves are sheding rapidly. I have no idea what went wrong. Please help.

It could be many things, any environmental faults, over or under watering, over feeding or it could be pot-bound. But look for infestation or fungus, but in some cases, some bonsai have experienced viruses.

it would be very eprecitiative if you could get a picture of it though, so we could narrow it down.

Where are you? where are you keeping it? If you have it inside that is a death sentence. If ut is outside, then how are you watering?

M from India and the pine is kept outside in the balcony. As i have read pines like sunshine. its watered every alternate days. i have looked for fungus but all seems ok.

First do not water to a schedule. Check every day and water when required. That will probably mean every day, I think you should try to put it in a shady spot for the hottest part of the day.
