I received my first bonsai as a gift a month ago. Not sure what kind it is, it had little pink flowers on it when I got it. It was on my kitchen counter and then I moved it to a partial sunny spot and it started getting droopy. I put it back on my kitchen counter and have been watering it every few days and misting it daily and it's just not recovering, getting more droopy. Not sure what I did to it, does anyone have any ideas?

if it has been kept where its currently sitting that may be the problem. lack of sun. this tree like any other tree/ plant should be kept outside and need sun. i would place it outside and water as needed (soil is dry to the touch) and hope it recovers.

It's going to be a miracle.
The tree is too weak, almost dead.

I think crent89 message and mine got mixed up somehow. Clicio, when you say it will take a miracle for the tree to survive are you talking about crent89 or my tree?

I am talking about your tree.
Yes, trees drop leaves when stressed. Some recover, some don't.
But when a tree loses its leaves because it is in desperate need of light, and underwatered/overwatered, it is very, very difficult to save it.
I sincerely hope it does recover. But if it happens, consider it...
A miracle.
