Today I just got some 6" ficus cuttings and I want to know the best way to
transform them into some beautiful bonsai
Richard Jeffery - Northern Utah

Put them in a very large shallow pot, like an 8 or 10 inch plastic bulb pan, in
bonsai soil. For now, put a plastic bag over the whole thing until they root.
Keep them under fluorescent lights for the winter. In the summer, put them
outdoors in the shade & feed them heavily. In a few years you might have the
makings of a group planting. Meanwhile, get yourself a whole tree to practice
on.
