sick Zalkova/Zalkoma

1. What kind of bonsai do you have and how long have you had it?
-It is a Zalkova/Zalkoma (I think Japenese Elm)

2. Where did you get it, and what was its condition at the time you acquired it?
- Garden Centre,
- Healthy leaves but not thick foliage
- The Tree was bought in November

3. When did you notice the problem?
- About a Week ago

4. How have you been watering it and how frequently?
- Watering using a watering can with a fine spray tip, from the top of the plant. Watering until water drips through the drain holes leaving for 5 minutes or so then watering again. Roughly every other day.

- I live in the UK, the tree is kept inside, not in direct sunlight.

6. Does the soil have any unpleasant odor?
- No

7. When was the tree last repotted?
- Unknown

8. Is there any discoloration of the foliage? Would you describe it as turgid and green, dry and brown, wilting, mottled or partially eaten? If you brush the foliage with a fingertip, does it fall off?
- Some Foliage is developing Brown tips, but not all the foliage, in random areas of the tree. some leaves are dieing! I have just pruned the Leaves with Brown tips so tree is looking rather bare again.

- No however there are a couple of leaves have tiny holes or slight rips
