How to fertilize borealis operculicarya

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your borealis operculicarya after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Yellow leaves/losing leaves My plant baby is turning yellow and all the leaves are falling off. Is this because of too little or too much water ??

We got this little investment the other day. We named it Nike (Nike not Nikeee) for its sleek little lines. It’s a bonsai but we thought it was cute and it wasn’t $400 like the last one we saw 😒. Some of these plants I love are taking me to the poor house! #SendHelp 🤣🤣🤣 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #LowMaintenance #CentralTexasGang

The repotting and move I think was a bit of a shock. New to me plant, so I decided to give it light and a new bigger pot. The leaves fell off, going to give it some time and hope it recovers.
