So it isn't just me and it really is getting worse? Haven't seen a bonsai in ages on this forum.

This is the basics of bonsai. Propagation of plants. It is also the basic in growing plants.
My main problem is that we do not get any description of what is going on. I have been ignoring this thread, as I see it as pure spam of a personal blog. But at least it is a thread with someone who knows how to keep tropicals alive, which is a liberation on this site.

Also I don't get any material profit from my blog so it can't really fall into definition of spam.
The real reason I post here is to share experience so it can be useful to someone in future and to get feedback.

I do not consider it spam. I wonder if posting every little development is interesting, but if you want to do it, do continue.

Because of transparent pots I could see roots emerging a week ago. Now they are confidently filling new soil
Trunks are also getting thicker, they are already covered by something like bark.
One plant in communal nursery have developed something that can be definitely called aerial root:

Last time, putting a digital thermometer inside greenhouse failed because mist covered readings and battery corroded. Now I've ordered in China a thermometer-hygrometer with external probe. It works much better, I can put the probe in desired place and readings are conveniently visible. (And see the obvious difference with winter indoor conditions)

There was a couple seedlings which have grown symmetrically sharing one cell.
I decided to practice in pruning on them. Anyway, they have tangled their roots so much that it was impossible to separate them without some damage.
So went on and cut their roots to maintain kind of radial structure, but keeping some of roots at the same time:

Next day after root pruning, the first one (with fewer roots left) have withered a little. I believe that's because smaller root system can't maintain the same amount of leaves. So I've pruned their tops as well. After cutting stem ooze a little of nice white sap:

I've slip potted all the rest of the plants without much invasion, except for a couple of smaller ones, which have fallen behind their little brothers. These I've just pulled out like carrots and put them into freed nursery cells. I should get rid of them completely if they don't catch up with others.
This is how greenhouse looks like now:

Larger volume requires more power to heat and more effort to keep humidity high, but after some experiments I've managed to achieve 98% RH and 24°C.

Speaking of other plants, they are growing unrestricted and look enjoying new space. The largest ficus is 18cm tall and at least 7mm thick near ground.

Smaller siblings in their new home also grew much faster than they did before.
Summer is coming and on clear days temperature inside greenhouse can reach 50°C, so I've purchased a timer socked and set a schedule to turn off heating during sunny hours.
