Danny,

I tried to reply direct but could not use the e-mail address. I think you
are doing all you can and you can only hope that it will be okay. You are
there now so you can water and keep an eye on it and I think there is not
much else to do.

I live in Basingstoke so I am not far away.

Subject: [IBC] 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
