I'm Vic and I like to work mostly with tropical trees though I don't live in the tropics. My trees aren't great, many of them are young and grown out from cuttings and seeds. But bonsai takes time and I want to document and share my passion and journey so I created this channel.

Ficus Tiger Bark from air layer to shohin bonsai
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Ficus microcarpa 'Tiger bark'. Restyled and repotted, exposed the roots some. Probably will remove the one that stuck up a bit. Started as an air layer I think 3 years ago and had several different styles since. It was more of a full cascade before this. Mostly just styling according to how it grows, letting the tree telling me how it wants to look. Sometimes it feels a bit like a dance, back a...
Pruning and defoliating Ficus Tiger Bark Fusion bonsai
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
Ficus microcarpa 'Tiger bark' in banyan style. A fusion of 6 different trees that I originally twisted and planted in 2 different groups but decided to put together for the main trunk. You can still see the two groups, one group of 4 more erect the other two I positioned more leaned to fill out space but they are all fused at contact. "Aerial roots" are also fused rooted cuttings. Mostly clip a...

How did you plant them? I now have soaked the seeds 1 day in hot water. Today i've put them to the surface of coco ground. Do you think they will come out?
Super tree🎉. Thanks for sharing
More ficus please!!!!
I have this tree in my roof its graw up I don't know how 😂
Can you please do another video of how you create air roots. If there essentially branches, how can you make sure they don’t become too large?
This is amazing and something I need to do for my ficus!
Never succeeded with Rosemary, the roots are so sensitive to root pruning. Every time I do the root pruning , it endes with a desaster of loss.
Bass has a variety from Palestine (The Holy Land) that fruits without pollination
What time of year do you defoliate and prune and repot ?
Fantastic!! I thought I was a weirdo for having some rosemary growing for bonsai intentions
Nice bonsai sir.
Beautiful trees, excellent work 👏👍
how often do you do this from the start of spring to autumn?
It really depends. Some I do about twice a year as long as it is warm and atleast a month of fairly nice and warm weather after. But these days, I only have time to do about once a year on my trees.
@@VicTheFigGuy thanks for answering my question so fast! How long do you recommend me waiting to defoliate after repotting? I just repotted my ficus a few days back. It's still the first half of spring for me.
@@getrekt9899 It kind of depends on how vigorous your tree is and whether you did much root pruning. Though with healthy vigorous Ficus trees, it shouldn't take very long at all. So without knowing the exact thing you did as well as the age and health of the tree, you can usually tell that it is ready to be defoliated if you see your trees actively growing new leaves.
Me encanta. Sencillo y espectacular
Thanks for sharing sir.
Any more updates on this tree?
Not at the moment. I am doing a fusion so it is just growing wild right now.
@@VicTheFigGuyok thanks for letting me know
Just discovered your channel, what a gem. Subbed. Beautiful tree and your voice is very relaxing.
Thank you! I appreciate it and glad you enjoy my videos.
So branches whit no leaves dont die ?
No. As long as tree is healthy and there are nodes, which is where leaves grown from, new shoots will develop and grow into new branches.
❤
❤nice tree , 👍
Awesome tree
It's beautiful, you have an amazing setup. How do you go about finding some of the rare ficus? I've been looking everywhere for the craterostoma and the sycamorus but I can't find them
Mostly through connection as well as growing from seeds. I got a lot of friends who alao send me seeds from other parts of the world.
Nice!!
Thank you!
Can you please do another video showing how you use the branches,
For the aerial roots?

Can bonsai survive in this kind of environment....I mean without natural sun
Only tropical species that can thrive under grow light. The light provided is full spectrum grow light which the trees can use to perform photosynthesis.
My tiger bark ficus is getting yellow leaves. Have you have that happened to you before? What would be the steps on pinpointing what is causing it?
Very inspiring! I want to get a bodhi bonsai as well, your is so beautiful!
Traducirlo
This is pure skill and patience. Excellent video❤
Great tree! Do you have an IG page?
Great tree! Any idea how old it is? I think mine is about 2 yrs old. It’s about 1 ft tall but doesn’t have much branching. :( maybe I should trunk chop mine.
Wowzers you're not kidding
Tqvm! Finally I know my tree is not religiosa after more than 10 years😅
Great work. I have a morton bay fig which i collected from northern Australia in 1988. It has been very roughly maintained as a bonsai but is now really ready for a good prune back It was root trimmed and repotted last year and is very healthy with a base and trunk that has great potential. It is late winter here now. Is it possible to successfully take cuttings of the two to three inch diameter branches? Or should i air layer it? What season is best for a significant rejuvenation pruning. I also noted you said that you wounded the tree which produced more roots. Is that simply cutting the bark and waiting or is there more to the process. I would appreciate your advice as this has great potential and i want to develop the tree as an ongoing project over the coming years / decades. Thanks
Morton Bay fig roots pretty easily, even with large cuttings. However, wait until it is actively growing and you will have better success. Just ensure high humidity while it is rooting. Yes, I wound the bark by removing it, similar to how air layering is done but just in small spots. Rooting hormone gel can be applied to stimulate roots growth.
Gorgeous tree
How’s you get the nebari to look like that! Can you share some tips thanks! I’m bodhi obsessed as well
What is the appropriate time to prune and change the pot?
great video! My fig has grown aerial roots all by itself and I would like to have some more grow but unfortunately mine is potted yet too big and I can't manage to easily cover it with a bag
using paper towels to create the aerial roots. Strips and keep moist ? or is there more to that?
cool idea and looks nice!
Oh wow. I love this. I been thinking about making a rubber tree bonsai but with the one that has variegated leaves. This one is just beautiful though 🥰😍 thanks for sharing !
I cant find any ficus rumphii for sale are they hard to get?
Love this!!
It's awesome!!
