G'day aesir22 and all...
My OPINIONS...
I'm concerend about some of the advice here...
Such as..."...Sounds to me like overwatering..." when aesir22 had already said "...maybe i missed watering it for a short spell...". Sounds to me more like underwatering.
More advice "...then water. I heard a wise man once say 'wait until its dries out completely then water the day before that'". This sounds, to me, like toooo much drying out. The ficus is, after all, a tropical species. Do tropicals "...dry out almost completely..." in nature? I think not...
And...I trust that this bonsai is in a container? "...dry out almost completely..." in a container?
Again...my OPINIONS...use them if your like. Or not.
Pat
