so a little gift mom gave me was a chinese elm. it was doing GREAT when i first got it but now its acting "funny" dropping alot of leaves, about 85% of the leaves turning brown and falling off at the touch or strong wind. i know its not dead yet because the limbs are pretty easy to bend still and there is some new growth coming out of the trunk. the tree is in full light and gets watered when the soil is dry on the top. any ideas on what to do? its like it is overwatered but i havent been watering it that much. im thinking that my roommates girlfriend might be watering it (she wants to get into bonsai)
