Good to know
- The mistake to avoid: Getting the watering wrong, in either direction. Most bonsai that die have dried out, and a pot shallow enough for classic bonsai can need water every day. The opposite is common too: many beginners over water, which drives the air out of the soil, drowns the roots and favors root rotting fungi.
- Also known as: ficus bonsai, serissa, fukien tea, carmona, sageretia, chinese privet bonsai and tropical bonsai
