HELP! We have a Tropical Fig, are extremely new to bonsai care, and have no idea what to do about a broken branch! It happened a couple of days ago and not knowing what to I propped it up as it was not broken the whole way but splintered, and hoped it would be ok. Two days later and the branch looks as though it is dying, leaves are shrivelled and turning brown in contrast to the healthy look of the rest of the tree. I have no idea how to go about pruning the branch or what that would do to the shape of the tree...? Any and all advice is appreciated as the seller is in another city where I go to uni. I'm attaching pictures of both the lovely whole shape of the tree, and the 'wound' close up. If I have to prune the branch what is the best way to go about it, and how would that effect the aesthetics of the tree? It was a real shame that the accident happened because the tree had a really great shape.
Thanks for any advice you can give me!
