Hello everyone. Almost a month ago, I got a Bonsai from a local shop. The tree was looking good and healthy (although not very well trained and shaped).
I read some articles in the website, and from what i could figure, the tree is a Sageretia Theezans (bird plum), but it can also be a Ligustrum (privet), i'm not sure.
I live in Portugal and the weather is fairly warm in here.
I don't have a safe place outside to leave the tree (only a small ledge of a window, and i don't want anyone being hit on the head by a bonsai), so i've been keeping it indoor and placing it on that same ledge with direct sunlight for about 4 hours every day. I've been watering it frequently, whenever the soil seems to be drying up. but i have not used any fertilizer yet.
The thing is, for the last 3 days, the tree is looking rather, bad... The leafs seem to be pointing down, all of them! they used to be srong and all, and now they're just hanging there (not falling. at least not yet). Also the new and small leaves are all curled up around the edges and 2 or 3 leaves have a black spot on them.
Anyone has an idea what could this be and what can i do?
Can someone help me be certain of the species of the tree? other than the leaves, is there anything else that is different between those 2 species?(i'll try to get a picture in here to help)
Best regards.
P.S.-To be fair the sun has not come out for the last couple of days. its been Cloudy with a little rain.
