Hi there. I Need some advice (I'm from Belgium, begginer level) 😄
I saved this old ficus bonsai from a coworker. Started loosing so leaves and the growth is has never been controlled so it's quite out of shape. Old substract and never any growth fertilizer ...
I would need some advice about what to do here?
My idea was :
very light pruning of the old roots. New substract + fertilizer
Larger flower pot
Now the hardest part : I was thinking about multiple notchings to try and get some new branches on the trunc or begining of the big branches
I was also thinking about pruning everything and cutting all the branches to try and salvage the size. I can start with just new pot and fertilizer and wait a bit for the pruning...
It's quite drastic and i've never had to work on old wood without any leaves on it.
What would you do? How far would you cut the branches?
