A Coworker Gave Me This Small Ficus Benjamina And I Figured Why Not Make It A Bonsai?

Wiandi, Too Little,

I am not in love with ficus but these two are my favorites.

I don’t think too little makes bad bonsai. There are other type of ficus that make better bonsai.
My willow leaf ficus are more forgiving.
I did purchase some too little minis this year that I’m playing with.

I find them frustrating. Mine drops all it's leaves around November and sits like the dead until April or May.

I have lost leaves when I let them dry out or over watered, or if it is too cold.
I am losing a few interior leaves currently.

Understandable, but this thing has done it every year like clockwork for 5 years.
