Hey, so I thought I'd provide a little update. She had a bit of a bad spell in my old flat before moving, where she didn't really do so well. It was winter too, so I was using artificial light to help her grow and since the tree likes tropical climates it's no wonder. Since moving I put her on the window sill in the office where she gets hot sunlight almost all day. Also I draw the curtain so she gets trapped in a nice warm, and reflective blanket of light.

So i decided to prune her back in April / May because she was just trying to grow up, without producing ANY branches, just leaves.

Since pruning she has developed 2 branches and a BUNCH of foliage in just a month or two!

Also I don't know what that little plant is growing next to her, I'm thinking of putting it in a pot and finding out :D

It's awesome to see your progress, this is a hard species to make bonsai...
I have like 10 saplings outdoors, winter has been tough for them, they shed all/most leaves, that can happen on colder climates...
