I have a Fukien Tea (or Philippean Tea - I'm not sure of the differance) which I've had since the spring. it was outdoors all summer and did very well. Since it's gotten cold (Tennessee) I've brought it in with my Ficus trees. Sice being inside (In south facing window) it is slowly dropping leaves, with one or two turning yellow and falling off every day. In desparation, I've put it back outside during the day (45-70 degrees) and bringing it inside at night (32-40 degrees). I'm watering it every other day.

The book I have (The complete book of Bonsai - Harry Tomlinson) Says it should live in 60-75 degrees with shaded sunlight and is suitable for indoor bonsai.

Any words of wisdom?

Thanks,
-Duke
