Decided to get a ficus bonsai.

And a really nice one, full of possibilities.
Congrats on the new tree LB.

Ah at last!

What are your plans?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

GET HIM SOME SHOES!



an now it is waiting for the day it will move inside for winter. In spring I will continue and probably trim it back to a stump.

A design issue with ficus. I was showing off my now 23 year old ficus and a fellow club member was a little upset that I cut off all the aerial roots. She thought I should have let them grow.

Well, her trees, my trees, etc.

You get to decide which to do.

I have been thinking about getting another and letting the aerial roots go wild. Like I have room outside......

Getting some new buds to pop

For years I kept the tropicals in a bay window when they came inside. The window is not available now because we are having foundation repairs being done and temps dropped below 10C last week, so the ficus and others are now sitting indoors under a grow light. We'll see how that works.

Usually the baobab drops all its leaves a few days after coming inside and the other two follow suit quickly. So far, after a week, not a leaf has fallen. The light is set for 6 hours and they are happy, so far.

There will be real news in a month or so.

Is this tree related to the banyan tree somehow? it reminds me slightly of a giant tree I used to sit on when i lived in Florida. This particular tree i am talking about had thousands of aerial roots that little kids would often try to swing from and often take the whole root with it.

Not sure how this relates to my ficus?
