Thanks Matt,

That was a fast repy, I used to have a Golf ball fig when I was a kid, that's why I decided to try this project with a ficus. With an "indoor" bonsai like ficus benjamina when should I be pruning it? I'm especially interested in when I should prune the roots, the one I just got has overgrown roots already. I assume that I should @ least wait until it has acclimated to it's new environment, shape and watering cycle (I seem to remember my old ficus being really sensative to change; dropping most of it's leaves whenever it got moved), but is there a certain time of year (like spring) that is better as well?

Thanks again.

Justin
