Caring for a ficus bonsai (commonly Ficus retusa or Ficus microcarpa) involves specific steps to ensure its health and longevity. Here's a comprehensive guide:

1. Light

  • Ideal Light: Ficus bonsais thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, but insufficient light can cause the leaves to drop.
  • Indoor Location: If grown indoors, place your bonsai near a south or east-facing window where it can get plenty of natural light.

2. Watering

  • Frequency: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely but also don’t keep it too wet. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Method: Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water buildup.
  • Humidity: Ficus bonsais appreciate higher humidity, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidity tray under the pot can be helpful, especially in dry climates.

3. Temperature

  • Ideal Range: Ficus bonsai prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C-29°C). 

4. Soil

  • Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix, typically a combination of akadama, pumice, and lava rock. This will ensure the roots don’t sit in excess moisture and allows for good aeration.
  • Repotting: Ficus bonsais should be repotted every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and promote healthy root growth. Repotting should ideally be done in the spring before new growth begins.

5. Fertilizing

  • Frequency: During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize your ficus bonsai once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant is in a dormant phase.
  • Type of Fertilizer: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a specialized bonsai fertilizer to ensure the plant gets the nutrients it needs.

6. Pruning and Wiring

  • Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain the shape of your bonsai. Prune new shoots back to 2-3 leaves to maintain its miniaturized form. Trim dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy.
  • Wiring: Ficus bonsais respond well to wiring, which can help you shape the branches. However, be careful not to leave wires on too long, as they can damage the bark.

7. Pests and Diseases

  • Common Pests: Ficus bonsais can attract pests like spider mites, aphids, and scale. Regularly check for signs of infestations and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
  • Root Rot: Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil drains well and avoid keeping the roots too wet.

8. Leaf Drop

  • Causes: Ficus trees are sensitive to environmental changes. Sudden changes in light, temperature, or humidity can cause them to shed leaves. Ensure the tree’s environment remains consistent.
  • Recovery: If leaf drop occurs, don’t panic. It may be a sign of stress but not necessarily fatal. Provide optimal care and the tree will likely recover and grow new leaves.

9. Bonsai Style

  • Shaping: Ficus bonsai trees naturally develop a thick trunk and a dense canopy, making them suitable for various bonsai styles such as informal upright, cascade, or broom.
  • Root Exposure: One of the most popular features in a ficus bonsai is the exposed root system, which can be accentuated by repotting and arranging the roots creatively.

By following these care guidelines, your ficus bonsai should thrive, bringing beauty and tranquility to your space.

Cute story about social anxiety
Format: Hardcover
I picked this up because I saw it on the shelf in the library. The story was written in a way that was relatable to children who might have social anxiety and helps the child realize that these are normal feelings. The illustrations went with the story very well and were perfect for a child to enjoy with the story. I highly recommend this book.

Adorable and surprising!
Format: Hardcover
The artwork in this book is simply adorable. The cute little animals. The fun tunnels to follow. The subtle textures added to the art (look at the sheet music in the tunnels!) And all of the titles of the books each animal has. Kids (and adults) will love looking over all of the details. And my favorite, and surprising bit, is that Mole (and a new friend) are allowed to remain introverted. They're not forced to change at the end into a situation they're not comfortable with. I think this is an amazing ending and one that you wouldn't see in many other books dealing with this situation. What a wonderful book!

A shy mole is both true to his friend and true to himself.
Format: Hardcover
Mole makes cream puffs and braves a long underground trip to his friend Rabbit's noisy party. Noisy parties are not for Mole so he gives Rabbit the gift and is on his way. But all is not lost. Another guest, hidden behind a lovely bouquet, is of the same mindset and the presence of these two loyal but shy friends does not seem to be a complete accident. Mole's honest monologue is endearing and the above and below ground scenery of the animal community is sweet.
