Identify my Home Depot Bonsai
Hi all!
I've been meaning to purchase a bonsai for a while. Recently shopping in Home Depot, I picked up a bonsai -- probably not such a good idea after I started reading some of the beginners bonsai instructions on this forum. I should have went to a local nursery after reading everything, but I want to give my current tree a try. The first thing I did was remove the glued on rocks. I'm looking into repotting it properly with fresh soil and proper fertilizer. Before I do so, I need some help from the more knowledgeable -- please help identify the type of bonsai that I have so I can give it proper care. Thanks!  |

I think this is a Schefflera.

Yep, bought some from Home Depot myself a while back. Personally, I'm having a real problem getting them to grow. All the other plants around them are growing like weeds, but the 4 I have only have put out a few leaves. Some people say they grown fine in low light, but I have not found that to be the case. I took one to the office and it took about two days and the leaves were turning brown. Returning it back outside my home picked them right back up.
