Hey all, i'm new to Bonsaiand problem (i) i've just bought a second tree. My first being a Chinese Elm. This new tree came in a box-esque package that did not mention the name of the tree so if anybody could identify it I would be grateful! I will attach a photo. Problem (ii) is that my Chinese Elm seems to have tiny little white lice like things crawling around it, they were too small to get a picture of, anybody know what they are? Also there were tiny flies which I also saw in my Venus Flytrap ironically a while ago. Also I cannot tell if either trees need to be repotted but they seem to have a lot of roots growing. Also the new tree had white webs on the roots at the bottom of the pot? I got rid of them all but should I be concerned? Any info, help or tips would be hugely appreciated

It looks like a chinese liguster. It is difficult to tell. Were the lice like bugs on the leaves?

Ah thank you and nah they were crawling around the topsoil and bottom part of the trunk

liguster

Ligustrum? aka Chinese privet

Not really. Not enough information. Best thing to do is Google for 'little white bugs crawling in the soil'




You can go through the websites, or click 'images' and compare.

Thanks Auk, i'll have a look!
