Here's a friend's ginseng ficus bonsai he's had for about a year and a half.
A few months after having received it as a gift, it shed pretty much all its leaves and stayed bare for nearly a year. No apparent reason for this except for possibly sitting in a spot that was very low light.
Recently, after changing its location to a brighter spot, it started growing new leaves although quite slowly.
When you look at the pics of it you'll notice it is producing leaves on one side only, he's asking me if there's a way of coaxing it to sprout branches and leaves on its other side.
