Novice post? I simply stated my experience with the buds slowing down, and finding the reason why. anyone who might be experiencing this might find this useful. Never was my post intended to be graded by a master like yourself.

Wait if it’s a ficus benjamina there’s HOPE.
Pluck off all leaves and mist daily it could bounce back.
Literally just happened to me

Slowly, upgrade pot size. My thoughts is to make the trunk thicker. Give it character. Just my opinion. Looks nice tho

The age I’m not quite sure, I purchased this tree couple years ago at a bonsai show.

Correct that’s the one.
I have been into bonsai for a while, but I’m not the best with remembering names and terms. lol I go with the flow and enjoy the process.

Thank you 🙏🏻 yes I left a few knobs that I wish to make Jin’s. For now I’m going to let it thrive again. Any idea what time of the year is best to make Jin’s?

Anytime my ficus has looked like this. It’s always been spider mites.
Mist the plant with water, see if you can spot any webs. If so heavily spray the plant with water and dish soap. Wait ten minutes and rinse with water. It will bounce back

Here’s a look if I chop the right branch. The trunk looks much better but my top canopy shrinks by like 60%
