| I have a bonsai plant that I got at the end of May as....yes...a Birthday gift. I am unsure what type of bonsai it is. I have been following the care instructions on the plants label, but there was no name. I water it every Wednesday, mist is a couple times a day, and rotate it daily. I also read that Walmart bonsai plants need the glued on rocks removed, so I took it off.
I would also love to know the care instructions proper for it...and what the dusty white stuff on its leaves are. I think it could be insecticide, but I tried to clean it off. It has oval leaves that come to a rounded point, about the size of a battery. It looks like it has two trunks that are pushed together. feel free to ask any questions and i will try to answer as best as possible. |

| Sounds to me like a tuberous Ficus microcarpa 'Ginseng'. Classic Wal-Mart plant... |

| I have one pic...but it wouldn't let me upload it to the forums, so I had to make a photobucket for it. |
