Ficus wiandi

Picked up something new today.
Not used to this type of ficus. Hopefully I can treat it well.
My first visit to dasu bonsai.

Looks like F. Benjamina. Sure It's not just a common name for Benjamina?

It is a benjamina. It's just a cultivar. Ficus benjamina 'Wiandi'.

What's the difference between this cultivar and the regular F. Benjamina?

Smaller leaves. Zig zag growing habit

Just dont defoliate it or cut back branches and leave them without any foliage. I use a technique, of constant piching cutting back of branches to the leaf nearest to the trunk and use escape branches to fatten things.
