I forgot to ask, how easy do the root cuttings take? I've taken dozens of softwood cuttings of that kind of ficus, with high success rates, but I never tried root cuttings.
@@BonsaiYEAH The one that ramps up before going out might get funky over time. I hate taking out large roots at the surface though. You just never know how quickly the tree will cover up the scar.
Cool video! love your style of just talking through your though process in repotting the tree without over explaining, very relaxed yet informative!
That is one amazing looking tree. Nice repot. Cool root system and a nice trunk and a half.
Nice tree. Maybe you can make a video on who to take root cuttings? There is not much about this on RUclips.
Sure! We have a video with root cuttings from this tree as well. Keep an eye out for root cutting video!

I'd say root cuttings are just as easy if not, easier than traditional cuttings.
Beautiful tree, I like the bonsai soil you are using. Did you mix or buy ?
It is from sanderson creek bonsai in DFW tx
Good pot for that tree. Are you going to keep all of the large roots, or do you plan to cull any of them in the future?
Time will tell.

What soil mix do you use for this repot, also can you show us pic of that osmocote fertilizer?
It's a mix produced by Sanderson creek bonsai in Fort Worth tx.
