    My Ficus

    Very First Tree!

    Wow, Thank you both so much for the great instruction and tips. I have a book that I am reading on bonsai, but this allows for very specific help! Glad I joined! I went back to the place where the tree was purchased to for me today and the owner has a wonderful collection. I was actually very...

    Thanks for the info. I believe the nibbling may have been taking place where the tree was purchased. I only just received it yesterday, but will keep my eyes open.

    Very First Tree!

    Thank you very much for the reply! I'm really excited that I have finally gotten my first tree, and look forward to learning all about the art! :) The fuzzy white stuff seemed to have disappeared after I spray misted the tree. If it comes back again I will be sure to get a picture.
