help fukien tea leaves turning black? drying up too
hello
please someone help I am fairly new at this so any help would be much appericated
ok this is about my third week in bonsai and I Bought a starter fukien about 5-6 inch tall and a mid size one to . for the first week they where fine second week the starter fukien was flowering in the midst of flowering most of the flowers began to shrivel up and with this white fuzz covering them! dry to. The leaves dont turn yellow they stay green but shrivel up and fall off now I did spray the plant with insectisdle soap because i did find a few mites in the soil not the leaves and a few fruit fly types of insects possibly aphides ? i wonder is this because of to much water, not enough water, to much insecisidle soap not enough light I might need a repotting soon and a good checking on the root ball for pests. And for my mid size fukien some leaves turn black and the buds for the flowers ! the whole bud and the stem its on will turn black and fall off! but then there are some buds that flower fine and in a few days the flowers turn a orangish color and can be eaisly picked off what did i do or not do right
please please help thank you to the ones that respond
