Fukien Tea plants can be very striking as Bonsai, but they can have these bumps appear. . I have been reading it can come from a fungal infection, bugs, or watering issues. I am not sure which one it is. Maybe someone else knows what this is caused by?
It seems most of the new growth on this Fukien Tea does not have the bumps. The older growth has a lot.
I recently de-wired this plant and I plan to get this repotted. Maybe it is best to learn all I can know about the plants I have. When I repot I will be sure of the soil composition and the status of the roots.
There are more Fukien Tea plants in the garden and none of them seem to have any bump issues. There is another plants growinig as a cutting. It has begun to grow very well now, again, no bumps.
I am really beginning to think this has more to do with watering. Maybe the plant has possibly been in the same pot for far too long? A repotting is in order. Then I can see how the plant does after that is accomplished.
Maybe that is my next step to learn what this is?
