When I took Rootie to bonsai class for a check-up (24th June), little did I know the trauma that was awaiting both of us. Wiring from his initial re-pot was OK to come off and it was only that Tina thought he needed to move a little bit in his pot, that we discovered not one- BUT A STACK of little grubs!

Oh the trauma! A full re-pot was in order to ensure that they didn’t get to eat any more of his roots (no wonder he was loosing leaves!). I will be keeping a vigilant eye out in future!! He does need some moss but I haven’t had the chance to find any yet…..

‘Rootie’ has been relocated to a new LARGER pot where he is much much happier! I did have some images of this new home in the previous post but hey…’rootie’ loves the attention!

Very well established Fig.

Was re-potted into existing pot mid 2005, trimmed and wired. Developed minor problems mid 2006 and was re-potted into a larger pot.
