Another great video. Think I need to build a small greenhouse because my ficus not doing great since I got rid of mine.

I love the ficus Benjamina updates!

Rainwater is the best!

this was super useful to see how to turn a vertically overgrown tree which was about to stop being a bonsai back into the bonsai shape. i have some ficuses at home and even though i use wiring this has helped with my thought process on how to build out the branch structure in the tree.

This is why you are one of the great Bonsai Masters in the world. You are very meticulous pruning the roots and are very good at explaining your reason for pruning out certain roots. Great pruning and repotting of this FB.

Thanks for sharing

That FLF is one cool tree. Big leaves, yet very superb. Only a master of your quality can tackle a tree like this one.

I love ficus B!! Great video! Your ficus do so well!

Two good looking Figs! The Fiddle Leaf is really interesting to follow.

Hey Nigel, is there a reason you don’t use pine bark anymore in your soil mixture ? I’m curious about it !
