Are you growing this tree out doors or indoors? I suspect you are
growing it indoors and there is not enough movement of air around your
plant.... More information such as what zone you are in, the type of
soil you are using, your watering method, are there small stones on the
top of the soil? Anything else you can think of that might help the
experts give you a definitive answer.

My first bonsai tree is struggling with pests. It starts off fine, but
once a few leaves have developed, tiny white creatures appear on the
newest leaves. They are very small, and look like specks of dust until
I watch them closely and see them moving. Once they have appeared, this
seems to stop further growth, the leaves and branches get no bigger,
and eventually the leaves fall off. Once this has happened, new
branches and leaves appear, grow nicely for a few weeks, and then the
tiny pests come back again. Can anybody tell me what these are and how
to get rid of them? My tree is a Chinese Elm. Thanks.
