Help needed: Large leaves small leaves

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 basic bonsai trees with nice designs, however I have a real problem with a regrowth of both my trees and the size of leaves on the new growth.

I follow the growth advice to the letter by watering, ground and plenty of light but still the leaves are like a lime green instead of dark green and of course the leaf size is much bigger than before.
Is there any way I can promote growth of smaller leaves and a darker colour as it is obvious I am doing something wrong the question is what ?

Any help would be appreciated

What species is this? Indoor? Outdoor?

twilightsamurai,

Welcome to The Helpful Gardener.
I follow the growth advice to the letter by watering,
Unfortunately the advice given by retailers is not always accurate, can you elaborate on your watering practices?

This may not be a problem at all, my Ficus show this pattern normally.

As kdodds requested, an identification is required to offer specific advice.
