Despite following the following instructions, my fukien tea bonsai tree is dying slowly. The leaves are going yellow and black, shrinking, and falling off. In addition, new leaves are not being produced. The rest of my plants, including my other two bonsai trees (different species) are doing just fine. If I figure out how, I will include pictures of the tree in it's current state. I have yet to use fertilizer, It has not been re potted since it was purchased in May 2011. The tree is 10 years old. These are the instructions of which I follow:

- Minimum 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight morning or afternoon close to a window.

- Keep the soil moist but not damp (less water in winter)

- Watering: Let the bonsai (pot) bathe in 2-3 inches of lukewarm water about twice a week (for around 15 minutes)

- Good ventilation

- Normal House temperature

- Spray the tree in its entirety on a regular basis

here are links to pictures of it.
