    I recommend glass / tank with plenty of light enclosure for the ficus cuttings to grow best

      Yes! Anything that mimics a tropical climate really jump starts any ficus cutting 😄

    Hello there, I have ficus microcarpa 1:24 can you please let me know what is the best fertilizer to thicken the stem? Your response is highly appreciated.

    • @ThatBonsaiGuy
      @ThatBonsaiGuy  4 месяца назад +1

      Actually the best thing to thicken the stem is to let the tree grow wild and not prune it back for a while. As any normal fertilizer will encourage growth you cannot go wrong there I think.

    Are some of the ficus species more likely to have aerial roots than others?

    • @ThatBonsaiGuy
      @ThatBonsaiGuy  Год назад +2

      I had the most luck with benjamina and microcarpa. On ficus retusa I have not yet been successful

    Can you get a bare branch to grow some leaves?

    • @ThatBonsaiGuy
      @ThatBonsaiGuy  Месяц назад +1

      Yes, most ficus varieties can regrow leaves from bare branches (as long as the branch itself is not dead)

    @kieranaziz6925 Год назад +1

    How will you remove the side roots of the ficus gensing?

    • @ThatBonsaiGuy
      @ThatBonsaiGuy  Год назад

      The plan is to prune quite aggressively. I have already done that with some other roots on this tree and it has recovered nicely. But of course with this side roots I would probably need to carve closely to the trunk to give it the desired shape. Then the risk of an infection in the trunk may be higher.

    Not all ficus bud back...benjamina mostly is a gamble.

    • @ThatBonsaiGuy
      @ThatBonsaiGuy  5 месяцев назад

      True, I actually have been lucky with back budding on my benjamina until now
