No need to be mean, they are just like babies. It's not their fault they aren't the prettiest things in the world. And it's not my fault for taking them off someone else's hands. I just want help to cultivate them into more bonsai like growth.
If you need more tips on how to care for ficus, check the Tree Species section (top of the page).
Bonsai is the art of creating a small tree that looks like a tree in nature - which is not the same as making a houseplant look like a bonsai.
If you take proper care they can recover and look nice, but you will never get the roots and the trunk right. It will never be a decent bonsai.
