Re: Help my Ficus
That's all very well for you in Brisbane Nathan, Down here in the south we have something called 'FROST' which figs dislike intensely. Taking them inside over winter is one option to ensure they stay aliveFigs love alot of sun, why keep one inside?? Trees don't naturally grow inside houses..

Re: Help my Ficus
Just an update in that all my Ficus have indeed pulled through..
Being one of the easier varieties of tree to grow (IMO) it would have been most embarrassing to have lost my trio.
Thankfully all but one tree have now got a batch of new leaves with shoots and growth happening left right and centre.
The odd one out is starting to fire up but looks to be a little "one sided" at this stage.
I trust the other side will catch up shortly.
This scare has certainly taught me a lot about Ficus varieties so in an odd way it's been worth it!
P.S. Crappy pic attached but you can see a few shoots coming through and popping up the tips.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
