Check species and season
Deciduous autumn leaf fall is normal. Evergreen or tropical leaf loss outside a transition needs investigation.

Bonsai losing leaves
Leaf loss may be seasonal, or a response to relocation, weak light, cold, drought, waterlogging or pests. Pattern and timing matter more than the symptom alone.
01 / Method
Read which leaves fall first.
A weakened tree usually needs stable light, correct moisture and time—not simultaneous pruning, feeding and repotting.
Check roots before watering again
Feel below the surface. A dry core and a saturated, cold root ball can both produce wilting and leaf loss.
Preserve remaining energy
Provide stable appropriate light and temperature. Avoid emergency fertilising, defoliation or major root work.
02 / Triage
Safe sequence
Check the species and season.
Read moisture below the surface.
Stabilise light, temperature and wind.
Change one variable, then observe.
