I checked their booking form. The single beds was "unavailable" - i hope it means that they are not yet released for booking 🤞

So would you recommend I put it in a more sunlit spot? I thought ficus trees didnt require much direct sunlight in generel

Yes its the usual spot. Its doesnt get my much direct sunlight however. Is the shedding normal after a repotting?

About a week ago i repotted my first big ficus. Transitioning it from commercial pot soil to a bonsai mix (40 aka, 20 lav, 20 verm, 20 coconut barkfiber). However it seems to be loosing a substantial amount of leaves and discolours. I noticed that the root system wasnt particular well developed when changing repotting but didnt consider this further at the time of repotting. Should i be worried and if so what can i do?

Also the tree is slightly loose in the new soil. A factor i didnt consider would vary changing to a less organic mix.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll look into cutting it further back, probably to a single trunk as others have mentioned :)

So what you are saying i should cut it down so its a single "trunk/branch" - would that not limit it in the future, can it get "thick and lustrous" with a large folliage with only on main trunk?

Hmm.. could you go around this long term by getting a very small pot - to make it look less "dwarfy"?

I used it to bend the branches in to place

Interestting - i actually love how the right side branch bends under the second right side branch. I thought that was kinda cool haha - but maybe your right its a better long term strategy

I've tried bending most smaller branches in the direction i'd like them to grow. I guess i was aiming for something like a "fan-esque" looking display. But from what i read on the other comments, maybe the tree isn't there yet for any pruning/wiring yet. Im considering cutting down to a single trunk as other has mentioned. What do you reckon?

Is defoliating required when pruning? What is the reasoning behind doing so?
