New to the bonsai game...I have a fukien tea tree and it was sent to me when super cold out and who knows how long it was boxed up for. Was doing poorly for about the first week.i pinched off the dead and dying leaves on the bottom about a week before the top and bottom is budding and looking good, the top has yet to start budding. Do I just need to wait longer? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

You should send it back to the seller asking for a refund
