My mom has had a ficus bonsai for about 8 years now. It’s been the only plant she could keep alive. Now that I’m getting into plants she wants me to repot it. I’m just a bit worried about how to go about that. I don’t want to kill it after she’s kept it alive all these years! What kind of pot would be best, soil, etc. Any tips and advise is greatly appreciated 🙂🪴❤️

I wanted to post this plant in both Bonsai Matters and Plant Recovery Room because, as you can see, it needs all the help it can get! I’m hoping that this plant can saved with the help of the plant community. A little background: I found an old (jade?) plant covered in mites and spiders in a broken pot. I think it was abandoned in my neighbors back yard from the previous owners and has been there struggling for 3-4 years, if not more. I’m hoping this plant can be a intro for me into more advanced gardening and the beginning stages of learning Bonsai. It’s in a cracked pot, but I’m interested in testing my green thumb, and Planta’s Community Groups and plant care reminders. Fingers crossed for a successful and unique outcome!
Norway Maple potted and in the incubator for the next 6 weeks. 🐣
Hello, I’m new to the app and new to gardening but I love Bonsai and before I knew how much work Azaleas were I got this one (this past new year) when I got her she had a few blooms, but she was still about this size. And due to the water change (because got her out of state) she immediately lost all her leaves and blooms but since then I have given her softer water, she has gotten two new twigs that are starting to get buds so I know she still trying, but I was wondering if anyone could give me tips or tricks to help her? Thank you in advance!!
Was gifted a bonsai money tree recently. Today I noticed a sprout! Do I leave it, or prune it? If so, can I try to start another tree? Never did this before.

I'm moving in a few days and I was wondering if any of you had any advice on traveling with a bonsai. I'm mainly worried it'll flat out die in between here and my new place. Are there any best ways to pack it or protect it as it'll be on a long road trip (2 days) also I should mention, it's just under 2 feet tall
Is it too early to graft these ficus seedlings?
