名媛直播

Hi everyone, I was given a ficus cutting from a friend's mallsai. It has grown a lot of new leaves and seem to be outgrowing the pot. So far it seems to like me leaving it alone and watering 2-3 times a week while the weather is hot. I'm asking for advice on whether to 1) repot and 2) prune branches or roots at all. Should it go into a training pot? He buried it so two branches were exposed, should I expose the trunk more? Most advice I've found seems to be on what to do with more mature trees. I know lots of patience is required, but I don't want to leave it and find I should've done something at the start. His has a nice thick trunk, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to go. First photo is my friend's, second is mine in May after it had already grown more leaves and the final two as it is today. I grow it on my kitchen windowsill, not on the hob btw

Thank you very much!

You are off to a better start than your friend.

What your friend has, is actually a combination of 2 plants: The roots are of a different plant than the leaves. The plant your friend has, is not taken as a bonsai by people seriously working with bonsai. So growing yours from the cuttings is a very good start. It will take a long time to grow it into a nicve tree, but hey.. 名媛直播 is slow work at times.

I would for now make sure it stays healthy. Read up on trunk development, , and decide whether you want to grow a very tall plant, and cut back several times, or whether you want to work with something called sacrifice branches.

Note: Depending on your local climate, this may be very long; Ficus grow best in the tropics with lots of heat, water and sun..

Thanks for your response, how is it possible to have the roots of one plant and leaves of another?

By grafting it.
