I've been absent from this Forum for some time because I haven't had much to contribute but I've been a member for a long time. However, I've just read a post in another part of this Forum about an "Umbrella Bonsai". Please tell me what an Umbrella Bonsai is? I've come across that name applied to a Schefflera somewhere in my readings but is this what is being discussed here? If not, what is it?

If' we're talking about Shceffs here,I have a good deal of experience with them and I can tell you that they definitely hate soggy roots and need a well-draining soil. They make aerial roots readily and can thus be easily trained to create little jungles.

Many thanks, Krys
