    Ficus Religiosa - How Easy to go from Plant to Bonsai? (Pics)

    Thanks for the heads up. Do you think I'll be able to get a decent trunk indoors, in a pot? I ask because I just don't have any land to keep the pot outdoors. The whip-fusing protocol may be the way to go, but I am so scared to mess up the plant!

    BTW, Otaku is such a perfect word - aficionado just doesn't carry the same connotation. And the tree you present on the most recent blog post is stunning!!! Me want

    Thanks a bunch for all the advice guys! I am indeed in New Jersey as Edprocoat was pretty observant to remember. So, I think that I may have more tough of a time than normal in getting this tree to work. To answer your question of procurement, Ed, I actually bought the tree off of eBay. As...

    Seeing as my first post was about some failures, I thought to try and ask you all about the feasibility of doing something before I actually set out to do it. My family is Buddhist, and there is a special reverence for the Bodhi Tree, which is, in fact, a Ficus Religiosa. I haven't, however...

    Ed, Thanks for the helpful response! I guess there's some validation in now knowing that this tree really isn't meant for for where I've been keeping it, and that I'm not a total failure at keeping bonsai. It's funny that you mention buying a Ficus, because I went ahead an bought a Ginseng...

    What a coincidence. He/She bought from the same vendor, only mine wasn't a "pre-bonsai". I feel annoyed that the eBay sale misled me, but I guess I should have done more due diligence instead of jumping in with both feet and blindfolded! I live in New Jersey. I think I'm going to donate this...

    Hey all, Sad to say that my first post here is a plea for help, but I can assure you that I'm open to all suggestions and plan to diligently implement any advice you have. Wanting to jump into the world of bonsai - I've always loved these tiny trees but never had the spending money to devote...
