Hello Folks,
I needed a little help identifying this pre bonsai plant I picked up at the botanical gardens. I believe this is a Fukien Tea plant but just needed to be sure. And if I am correct, my plans are as follows; any input on that would be great:
1. Plan to keep in current pot or possibly repot into slightly larger conventional pot once spring comes around. Planning to feed about once a month in the winter and work up to once/twice a week through spring and summer.
2. Wait about 2-3 seasons in hopes of some trunk thickening and then repot to a bonsai training pot after root pruning. Maybe wire once it's settled into the training pot for a few months.
Will proceed on to a bonsai pot eventually depending on how training goes. Any feedback on approach would also be hugely helpful.
Thanks for reading!
