Default A sick Carmona Macrophylla

Hi Everyone

I went away on holiday for a fortnight, leaving my neighbour to water my
bonsai, which were all outdoors. All of them are still fine, apart from my
Carmona Macrophylla. About half of the leaves have gone a very dark brown
and the other half a shrivelled green. Looks like lack of watering to me,
but everything else is OK. I haven't spoken to my neighbour yet.

I have stripped off the dark brown leaves but have left the green ones for
the moment. The soil is moist and I am being careful not to over water it.

Any ideas on what might have happened, how to tell if the tree is still
alive, and what to do with it now?

I am in London, England, where it is starting to get a bit cold overnight so
the bonsai are now indoors overnight and if it's a nice day then I let them
out to breathe a little.

Thanks,

Danny
