The Epcot Flower and Garden Show is only weeks away and I am doing my final last minute touches to my Ficus Nerifolia so that it is ready for the 10 week exhibit.

Here is the tree after adding petroleum jelly to the bonsai pot to darken and clean the pot.  I also sprayed the bark with vegetable oil to bring out the purple color of the bark.  Lastly I added moss to create contrast and tie the entire tree together.  The following video show the process.
