I’ve recently purchased a ficus nerifolia, I’m very new to this.
I was just wondering if I could get some tips and advice.
My bonsai is outside, it has a north west aspect, located in NSW.
My questions are
1. How often should I water it (I’ve heard everyday and also every 2-3 days) I’ve also heard of submerging the pot in water for 5 minutes and allowing to drain.
2. How often and when should I fertilise ?
3. Any tips on how to wire/style my bonsai and when it should be done ?
4. The green moss on the base of my bonsai, I’ve heard it’s good as it keeps moisture, just wanted to see if that is too much.
5. Also some of my leaves have turned slightly yellow ( the guy I bought it off said it may happen and that the ficus sometimes lose there leaves then re grow)
Photos are attached, thanks guys
