Ficus Wiandi/Riandi
I recently bought a Ficus Wiandi/Riandi labelled as an "Oriental Ficus" even
though I have discovered it was developed in Holland.
The plant is very visually appealling, however the branches are
exceptionally fragile. Whilst in the nursery choosing a plant I snapped off
two branches (don't worry I still bought the plant) when seeing how I would
style it as a bonsai.
Does any one have any specific information on their training as bonsai. The
particular style of branching in a zig-zagged manner looks slightly
difficult to control with a clip and grow technique.
Thanks in advance
