One more question..
What causes leaves to be light green in color (the cirlced leaves), is it new growth? The bigger leaves are a deep green..

I've read that it is good to mist your bonsai with water to remove dust.
I have noticed that several of my bonsai's leaves have a dusty white
substance on their leaves, when I mist it is seems to come off, but the next day it is back again. Any ideas of what it is and what I should do?


Thanks!

Ficus, looks overwatered.

Are those rocks on top of your soil glued on?

If yes, please remove them. Your tree will be happy you did.

Have to disagree with armac. Think it's a Schefflera. Agree with tomc, if those rocks are of the 'glued-on' variety they should be removed. They're evil .

Assuming it's a Scheff then the lighter color on the new leaves is perfectly normal. They'll get a deeper green as they mature.

Taking forEVER to download those images for me. It's definitely Schefflera. Ditto on removing the rocks.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
And no, the rocks are NOT glued on.

Any ideas on what the white powdery dust on the leaves might be?

I don't see any powdery dust, but it could be hard water stain.
