I have literally zero idea what it is, it was hard like a bone with spikes that look and felt like teeth. It really freaked me out, and I threw it away in shock/disgust and I realize I should’ve saved it. The manager called me and offered me a refund, but I would really just like to know if y’all have any idea what it is or have ever experienced something like this.
Hi all! I bought my first bonsai (an unknown age senna meridonalis) about three months ago from a local nursery.
It is in a 4’’ plastic pot. I currently water it about once every two weeks. It sits in a west facing window with other succulents.
I got a good deal for what the plant is, but I still spent way more on it than I’ve ever spent on a plant before.
I consider myself very experienced with house plants, I have over 150 and I have dealt with my fair share of pests like thrips.
Usually it is a matter of isolating infected plants, treating with systemic, cutting off infected leaves etc. but I am really struggling with figuring out what is causing these black spots on my bonsai. I have tried different watering routines, light levels, and have considered repotting it.
It has zero new growth since I got it, I fertilized it once a few weeks ago.
Basically- what am I doing wrong? Should I treat with systemic again, should I cut it back?
TYIA- I’m sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense :)
