Hi All

I've just bought my first bonsai tree, which is probably far from perfect I'm sure! I was hoping to get some advice on the questions below, as well as any other thing that I should know!

• What type of bonsai is it?
• Where should I keep it?
• How often and how much should I water it?
• What should I feed it and how often?
• What pot it should it be in? (It is currently in a plastic pot with holes in the bottom, inside a ceramic pot with no holes in it)
• Are there any special considerations which I am overlooking?

Thank you in advance for your help!

welcome to the forum.

Please use the search function. It is there for a reason.

Hi leatherback

Thanks! I'm not very good at comparing the leaves with those in pictures, do you know what species of bonsai this is so I can search accordingly?

have a look for ficus, ginseng.

Actually, you didn't.

Yeah I'm coming to realise that there's a lot of terminology that I never knew the true meaning of! Clearly I'm not a pro like you guys!

Thanks
