I can second/third what's been said here that Phal. japonica are seemingly tough cookies.

Both of mine, 'Shima' and 'Seigyoku-Daruma' were out in 40-50 degree Fahrenheit weather a couple of times...

RiverbankMudlark,

If you're still wondering about Den. monliliforme, this is what I can tell you.

They don't have a "dormancy" period as much as it is a period of when you don't water as much....

Thanks, friend! I attached some images of the pod now.

I guess my main issue is what exactly should I search for when looking for a lab? "Lab" is pretty broad, but I guess "horticultural lab"...

You can get a bigger basket and finagle the plant in, and have bark, moss or leca in the basket around the roots that are in the basket. If just one bud dropped, it should be okay though. Just be...

Interesting. I did purchase some leca, so I'll have to experiment and see how things go. From the sound of it, seems like things will go well.

Bonsai cut paste for preventing disease for any cuts?

Hey gang,

I got a little Ficus benjamina for Christmas, and so I thought I'd try my hand at the craft of bonsai.

Good point.

I might look into these kinds of pellets for some plants, if they aren't too expensive (they probably are with my luck). Medium pumice stone probably works fine as well.

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like my attempting at selfing this little guy might've been successful.
