Nashia inaguensis - 'Bahama Berry' is definately a tropical....
What zone are you in? As long as they have new growth and leaves coming out, I'd just continue to care for it as normal. Some of the roots were probably damaged a little during potting, and the leaves that dried and fell may have been fed by those roots.
Here's a care sheet for you to check out, if you haven't found this already.

Bahama Berry - Nashia inaguensis
Zone 7b
I MUST down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky; And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking; And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide; Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying; And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life; To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover; And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

Thanks for the input, I think the trees have acclimated, I now have flowers on them and I only lose a few leaves now and then. The more humidity I give them the better. Every time I bring a tree or plant home I think I go thru just as much stress as them. Thanks again

I have the bahama berry with the pink flowers.... it is growing in pure coarse sand for two years now.... likes moist soil and lots of sunlight.... actually had berries growing on it .... birds or lizards stole them though.

Hey Mudman,
When you say, pure course sand, are we talking about something like play sand? Or something different?
Play sand is about as course as I can think of, but, then again, I'm not expert on sand. All I know about it is that it's good in my soil mix, and not good in my swin trunks!

I found it in the builders section at Lowe's, its an additive to masonry cement....it's just sand granules that are larger than regular sand.... I definitely wouldn't want this sand in my swim trunks either

.I just recieved a few bahama berry plants, and I've been looking for the best pre-bonsai soil for them, the sand isn't something I've heard of elsewhere for these guys. Would you recommend it for pre-bonsai? If not, what would you?
Thanks,
Mike
