I have had this little thing for several months now, I got it on clearance from Lowes and It didnt come with ANY info at all, I've had ppl tell me its a Jade? But then they see the little balls on it that just kinda hang out some turn into new leaves some just stay there then fall off after several weeks. And Jades I think are usually much thicker trunked?

I give it alot of sun and it seem to like that... but I'd like to know how better to care for this odd little guy beyond that ... Thanks![/img]

Yes it's ficus green island. I have a couple. They are slower growing than the regular ficus microcarpa but makes good indoor bonsai and the ground to oval leaves are the attraction. Have fun with yours.
