We were sent a plant from our daughter through a floral service. They call it a "money tree" and included info on how to care for a bonsai. This doesn't look anything like a bonsai to us!! It reminds me of a schefflera that I once owned. Could anyone identify this so we will know how to care for it? Thanks!!
the above id is correct. 'bonsai' is a form/type and/or technique of gardening. the goal is symmetry and small size - which is gained by pruning both the leaves/branches as well as the roots. wire is used to shape the branches and so is twining multiple trunks or branches. almost any plant can be 'bonsai'.
thank you so much....!! Now I will look it up and find out how to properly care for this "money tree".....
