The care secret that transformed my Ficus Bonsai

I'd had Ficus Bonsai for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to styling with the front and viewing angle in mind from day one and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

miniaturisation of full-grown tree characteristics became much more pronounced. The plant in a dedicated display stand at eye level for appreciation now looks like a completely different specimen. winter rest with protection from extreme frost for most species confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. over-wiring causing wire bite scarring on branches has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Ficus Bonsai is underwhelming, look at styling with the front and viewing angle in mind from day one first.
