Hello! Me again, and yes another Ficus Organensis...

This one was the first tree I started from the very roots, making a really drastic prune on it's taproot leaving it flat on the bottom, and planted on top of a ceramic tile piece with only two roots, and you know, Ficuses have an amazing rooting potential.

The result was a very good flared out Nebari, which for now still buried, but I noticed it also helps on the lower trunk taper.

Ok, long story short, I'm planing to make it as a medium sized Hokidachi, about 1.5 years working on it.

Here are some pics, feel free to coment.

Hey Alblas,

Maybe this video can help you. I think you can get even better outcomes if you ensure the roots growing along the rock surface. In this video I explain one way to do this.

Thanks LB, in fact I already watched that video of yours, very good technique also.

Oh wow, it's been two years...

Just a little update on this tree.

I wired it to position some branches, and didn't like their postion, so I "wrapped" it to close the angles of the branches.

It's waking up already (late winter here),?so today I repoted it (quite overdue actually), removed the wrap and cuted it back short to start from there, putted in a shallower container with new soil...

At some point, observing?how the leaves can be reduced, I decided not to make it too big, so I'm trying a different approach on this one... Btw, it didn't grow much because it was in the same pot for almost 3 year.





And that is to give a rough idea of what I have in mind, let see how it goes... hahah
