Subject: [IBC] Help! with Carmona Macrophylla

Firstly, let me just state that i'm an absolute beginner so please be
gentle.

A little while ago i purchased a bonsai (for the very first time) from a
general store. It's still alive but i'm not sure how to give it the best
care & attention. There were very limited instructions that came with it
and i am not 'green fingered' whatsoever!

Can anyone recommend a good source of information on this particular
species?


Some details:-

*It's described as an indoor bonsai
*Origin: Guangdong Province, China
*It's in flat ceramic dish/pot (5 x 3.25 inches) *Height (from top of soil)
is about 7.5 inches *I live in Kent, England

Also, the info. that i do have talks about "... regular looping, meaning
cutting the new runners ..." and the bonsai does look (in my not expert
opinion) like it could do with some tidying up. Any help greatly
appreciated.

Thank you.
