ok, when talk turns to bugs, I get all skeeved. I know what aphids are but I'm going to have to look up scale, this is new to me.

bonsaial1,

Those are adorable trees but I see what you mean about being leggy, I didn't get it until you showed me the pics lol. I have the variegated leaf kind ( which is apparently a disease) with orange flowers. It's still only about 5 or so inches tall but I can't wait to see it grow and bloom. I might still try to train the branches the way I want them to grow and just find it a fun pot to be in.

Thanks Ladies!
