Hi all

Two weeks ago I purchase a cute little shohin sized Cotoneaster from a local
nursery.
It looked rather happy, with tiny green leaves in typical potting soil.

I stared at it for a few days until I decided to trim/repot it.
I trimmed about 25% of the leaves and roots and stuck it into good bonsai
soil into which I mixed about 25% of it's original potting soil.

Two days after repotting the leaves started to dry out and turn crunchy.
A week later I'm staring at a bare little tree.
I've kept it moist the entire time with a slight amount of indirect sunshine
every day.

Have I killed it ... or is this a characteristic of this tree ?

I've read that cotoneasters are "idiot proof".
Guess I'm a better idiot than I thought !!
