How do I take care of my ficus indoor bonsai?
I'd like to know when I need to water it and prune it and how long it may live? Oh and I pruned a leaf off and a white substance came out, what is that?
WATER? Don't set up a schedule, water it when the top 1/2" of soil is dry. It likes to be moist, but not soaking wet.
PRUNE? When new growth comes out where you don't want it, and you can trim the tips of new growth to make it fill-in more.
HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE? Long enough to pass to your grandchildren, and their children.
WHITE SUBSTANCE? It's the sap, and a "self-healer." Wash it off your skin before it dries. It won't hurt you, but will get dark and may be slightly irritating.
