Good Evening,
I posted for some assistance after receiving a Fukien for Xmas 2022 (Thanks for the assist). After a still undiagnosed black spot issue and a visit by some whitefly. We went away for a week and left a neighbour to water and returned to it dry and looking rather sorry, it lost a fair few leaves.
It seems after 3 months of pinching the flies off, removing the diseased leaves it seems to be turning a corner.
Have been feeding fortnightly as well with BabyBio Bonsai food and misting with water/watering regularly to keep the soil noist.
I would very much appreciate any further tips, very much a beginner here and finding the Fukien a tricky little tree to keep happy.
Lots of new growth appearing, really trying to thicken the tree up but its taking time.

Glad you got it into spring!
Main thing from my side would be to not fertilize that much, unless the tree is really pushing growth.
