Beginner - help identify
Hello
I am an absolute beginner. I just bought this from Ikea and I was wondering if you guys could help me identify the species so that I can find proper instructions on how to take care of it. Here are some pictures: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/daniel_...460762343935412 Thanks Dani |

I believe that is a ficus retusa. http://www.bonsai4me.com/SpeciesGuide/Ficus.html- should provide you with some care instructions.

I guess because of the glowing light it almost looks like Ligustrum privet, but Ficus is right. If you clip a stem Ficus bleeds white sticky goo.

This is what is commonly called Ginger Ficus or Ginseng Ficus. Identifiable by the large tuberous roots above ground.

Hi Iskander!
I am most positive it is a ficus, (what species could be a few) but never the less the care are all the same ... provide alot of room light, mist once in the morning and once at night and keep it in room temp throughout the winter till spring early summer... you can then place it outside and bring it back in late september... they make great Bonsai, and leaves reduce nicely on them... take care Lance. |
