Hi Newsgroup.
Could any of you guys tell me how I can find out what species
my Bonsai Tree
is?
Are there any good websites that have pictures?
Thanks


You could post a picture at:

and someone's bound to be able to ID it.

Chances are it is:

1. A Serissa - small, dark green leaves, tiny white flowers
2. A juniper - dull green spiny, short needles that prickle your
fingers when you take hold of them
3. A Ficus - 1-2 inch glossy green leaves, pointed tips

Do a separate search for "bonsai and" each of those names and you
may find it.

If you bought it at a garden center, mall or kiosk somewhere,
immediately removed the glued-on rocks and replace them with a
little good potting soil.

Water ONLY when the soil feels dry -- no matter what any
instructions which may have come with the tree might say. Keep a
stick jammed deep in the soil half way between the trunk and the
pot. Remove it every morning and feel the dirty end. If it
feels damp, do not water.
