I'm pretty new to bonsai, but I keep reading of people grafting foliage from one variety of a plant to another. I was curious if this can also be done cross-species, such as between an umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophylla) and a dwarf umbrella (Schefflera arboricola).
My question is mostly hypothetical - I'm not quite ready to sacrifice my old umbrella tree, but it does have nice roots and is starting to get too big for the house.. so if I ever did need to cut it back.. I can't help but think it might make a nice bonsai with the small leaves on it.
