L.S. Because my girlfriend and I are not ready for kids yet, we decided to get ourselves a bonsai. We think it's a ficus, but we're not completely sure. Could you please help us on the identification...?? Moreover, we are completely new to the world of Bonsai, but we like to take good care of family extension. Could you give us some advice on giving this one water, feeding him, repotting (he's still in the pot and soil we bought him in), and placement (lightwise)... He seems to start losing leaves since we bought him. We heard that ficus is really sensitive to moving around, is this true? Maybe you can help us with some advice... Thank you very much, you're helping a young family ;-)
Try these. I keep mine outside in sheltered area in good light. Liz http://roo.emu.id.au/Roo/bonsai.html http://www.mygarden.net.au/flex/bonsai_tree_care/119/1 http://www.heyne.com.au/gardencentre/factsheets/factsheet.php/Bonsai.htm
