I have had my boganvilla bonsai for two months and I have no new growth but im not really loosing leaves so should i prune it back I have no clue I just no my last one lost its leaves and didn't get new growth so i no that i need some even if i have leaves. Now I water very lil just like orchid so when its dry i drench it good that when it dry do it again but now that i started using a fertilizer my soil has gotten mold growing where the soil meets the container. I pretty sure it will grow every where if i wouldn't pick the mold of with my fingers. Now I don't have any pebbles on top of my soil i don't know if that matters. So I could really use some help and so answers because i'v read every thing on the mold topic and i cant even find any thing about a plant not spouting only thing that i could find where ones that went into shock and then didn't sprout. so thank you and please help.
try not to saturate the soil as much when you water it. i had the same grey mold on my crotons media, so i did not soak the media as much when watering, and the mold went away. try to find a balance of getting moisture down to the roots, but at the same time, not completely saturating the media. just my 2 cents
Thank you for reassuring me that my trees okay and I will try that next time i water! I also moved it to a sunnier location same side of house just on the second floor i started to notice i wasn't getting that much direct sun now that the sun has moved for the season.
