So Matsu, I am in the Gulf coast LA (Zone 8-9). Yesterday I baught a little pot of 7 bejamine ficus. I seperated them into indavidual pots and brought them inside. Do you suggest I keep them outside once they resume growth until fall? I am sure we have pretty much the same climate. We both been getting much rain, LOL.
also I read that ficus Benjamina dont do well with defoliation. I wish I would have read this yesterday morning, I would have baught a different type of ficus. Oh well they were only $4 at Marshalls. No big deal. I might just keep them as house plants and buy a different type for bonsai.
