Sorry to bother anyone but here's the Bonsai that my little sister got me for Christmas. She was quite worried it was going to die in her care and decided to give it to me early.
Well it looks as though her fears were justified. I am noted as the green thumb in my family (unwarranted title) and despite my effort the plant does not want to continue. If I knew what it is that would certainly help, but I can't find it anywhere. (I'm not so good at this though...) Maybe it's a bonsai bush or something whacky like that? (Is that whacky? I dunno.)
I've always thought it best to admire bonsai from afar, while secretly pining for one of my own, now this little plant is depending on me and my little sister will cry like mad if it dies. These pics were after soaking it because that was the only thing I could think of to get it enough water, being that the ammount of soil is virtually nil and the root system can't be much better.
Height is approx 10 inches, base is about 5-6 inches across and 3 1/2 wide and 2 inches deep. Additionally this is an inside plant. It does not seem to do well with low temperatures and when I leave for work it is usually 20F.
