Hello, first time poster. I believe I have a Ficus Bonsai but please correct me if I am wrong and possibly let me know which type of ficus it is. This plant was my dad's and he passed away so it is very important to me. I have had it 2.5 years now and it has always been pretty dormant. It has been in the same pot since he had it. I water it about once a week, when the soil is dry. Recently it started dropping leaves. It doesn't really have a lot of leaves to lose so I would really like to save it. It has a long branch coming off the main trunk that I believe needs to be pruned, I'm just not sure where to cut it. I would like to turn that cutting into a new plant also but not sure how (very new to bonsai's here). I want to repot it also but not sure how to trim the roots and which soil to use, etc. I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada so the weather is very cold right now. Please help, I really love this plant and it means a lot to me. Thank you.
