yeah, I got them swapped. Explosive is natal

Ok. Here we go! First picture is when I got it in October. Second picture is what it looks today. (It is more growth than that, but I wanted to show the aerial roots, and that was the easiest to see) you can see in the very last pic how far it has grown out to. First...

I was going to do pictures, but I got called in!! :( I definitely don't work tomorrow, so I will get them tomorrow. My soil does drain well. They are in a 60% akadama with 50% "bonsai soil" from Wee Tree's that contains soil, some other organic (I think), and some inorganic. I basically...

I actually root pruned the hell out of it....about half. I was actually worried that it was going to kill it. I meant to get pictures. I work 7 PM to 7 AM, and I totally crashed after work. I will try to do it in the AM. :)

I repotted my burtt-darvyi ficus, and well...it's growth has absolutely EXPLODED. Since then, I really need to do something with the leaves because it has grown so much. The issue that stands out is that only after about 2-3 months, the roots are coming out of the bottom holes. Perhaps I...

Just an update. I believe it worked. All my trees seem fine. I don't see any new scale. It actually thriving now. It has a good bit of figs around the whole tree. Pretty exciting!

I actually had to cancel the 3 lb one with the measuring cup due to unable to cancel the first one I ordered. It's on its way. Also, it is easier for me to get a package, than go to the store and buy it. Amazon is usually cheapest too. Edit: Well, walmart does have it cheaper by $10.

Actually I bought the link below, which what you posted is a lot better price, as it is only $3 more. So, I just canceled mine and reordered what you posted. I think my insecticidal soap killed the aphids?? They are still attached. If they are dead will they still stay attached or fall off...

I was going to try to keep picking them off and all the other methods...but no dice. I literally just picked off 15 of them covered in honeydew leaves. Worse off, my maple I bought, I thought it was free of pests. I had it off to the side while I observed it and waited for it to have leaves. It...

I just want to use a systemic. I've used the natural insecticides. It doesn't work. They seem to go away, then I start seeing honeydew again. I believe they are armored scale. They are black. They kinda resemble these below, but they aren't moist...

Any links to products? Is it systemic or it just work on contact? I'd like to kill adults too.

I have that book. It is good.

Beautiful elm.

I'm still having issues with scale on my ficus. I used gentle insectidicial soap. I've picked them off by hand, and ran water over them to try to get the baby crawlers off. I've used dabs of alcohol. I can't seem to get rid of them. Once my plants are repotted for a month, what systemic...

Get a ficus. I've been growing my ficus under a grow light for almost 6 months now.

I just root pruned. I also did partial defoliation on them. My natal and burtt darv look like they haven't been touched, my Philipennis has some leaves curling but maintaining color. My Japanese maple whip looks the same, but I didn't touch the roots on it. I'm just hoping I didn't take too...

So basically due what Marie said? Also I can't root prune as they say don't do it bc it's been root pruned twice already. So basically those 2 pictures are 2 different options. I received it today and at work and will pot it on the morning. I just want to do everything it needs before...

3 different ficus

I just repotted all my bonsai. They all really need it, as they were all in compact soil and root bound. I significantly upgraded the size of the pots they were in. My question is when exactly will I know if they survived the repotting/root pruning? As this is my first time repotting, I'm...

The left side on the first photo is like the main part of the tree? I also bought a rather large pot for it, which I hope it will fit it just fine. It is 13.5 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 4 inches deep with 3 big drain holes, and 4 small little drain holes. It is plastic, but it really...

What side is the left side?

The reason I say that is because it seems one part of it has a lot of water or honeydew, and the leaves right next to it (another plant?) has nothing on it. (The pic is the 2nd post, with the 2nd picture) The leaves on the bottom left hand corner has nothing on them. Also, it looks all of...

Hey, all! I couldn't resist, and got this japaense maple for only $100. I've been reading my maple book, but I am not sure about a few things. I have pure akadama to put it in, which I thought was kind of the way things were now. However, they recommend inorganic with some organic. Should I mix...

Is that water or is that honeydew from mealybugs/aphids/scale?
