THE BONSAI TREE IS A TAIWAN FICUS (FICUS RETUSA),ABOUT 3 FEET TALL AND ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!! IT HAS BEEN NURTURED FOR 15 YEARS,SO AM DESPERATE NOT TO HARM IT! THERE IS LITERATURE WITH IT AND IT SAYS IT CAN BE KEPT INDOORS OR OUTDOORS. I HAVE IT IN A WARM ROOM THAT NEVER GOES BELOW THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE,AND IN THE CORRECT LIGHTING. IT STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE KEPT MOIST BETWEEN MARCH AND OCTOBER, WATERING LESS FREQUENTLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. FEED WITH THE BONSAI FOOD AS INSTRUCTED, WHICH I HAVE DONE. DO YOU THINK IT MAY BE TRAUMA FROM BEING MOVED FROM THE GARDEN CENTRE? MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....REALLY APPRECIATE IT TAKE CARE MRS.D P.S. I HAVE CALLED IT HENRY!!!! LOL AND TALK TO IT DURING THE DAY Plants: 46 | From: manchester,england | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Seeded: 84.69.139.13 SpringFever Garden Pro! Member # 8125 posted                       Ficus are realllllly picky about being moved ... I am sure if you leave it in the same place and continue with the same routine that it will be fine ... just having a little shock thats all.. most important they like to NEVER be moved so if you have a spot..Keep it there... Don't change conditions at all! * * * * Tonight I am having friends for dinner...

The moving around problem is a big problem for any ficus. They will drop almost all there leaves just from one side the room to the other. Luckily they sprout them back out almost immediately. If it continues to drop new leaves, you probably have it in a dry or warm draft. Higher humidity or misting can help if thats the case. * * * * Kirsten "Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
