So, I am rescuing this little guy. Seems he is a ginseng bonsai ficus? Not sure. I found spider mites and removed as much as I could, trimmed him up and isolated him. Placed him in our plant hospital and under a grow light. I added some cinnamon to the open branches and hoping for a great come back. Anything else? I really want to save him. He was a victim of over watering, then no watering and needed a new pot that helped him drain. I use a cactus/tropical blend soil because they seem to do well with me with that soil. I also added some clay beads to the bottom... this is a fully draining pot. (Like the smaller black one on top of the white)

      Thanks Rhonda. He is one of the worst ones I have seen... and it was full of tiny ants. 😭

    You’re doing way better than I did with the one my Uncle gave me about 10 years ago. I promptly sent mine to the grave.
