View attachment 10864 Hi,

I repotted my Zelkova bonsai 2 weeks ago. It was very healthy but now the leaves are falling off :(
I also pruned it a little after I repotted it and fertilized it (I know I shoudn't do that).

Will I loose him?

Keep the soil moist and, if it is warm where you are, you can place it outdoors in a shaded sheltered area.
Keep an eye on it daily and water when needed and just wait it out.
Leaf drop is normal after root pruning.
Once the tree adjusts to less roots it will bud out....
