  • It's been three years since I repotted my Ficus microcarpa into it's new pot. Today I give it a trim and repot it once again.
    This tree is one of the Ficus sisters. Two trees that were almost identical when I bought them as small nursery stock. I am growing them in different styles, one I call "Plain", and this one is "Fancy".

    Thanks I have a lot of Ficus, Most from the the mother tree that is 40+ years old.
    I just potted a sleeping hibiscus and I used all the things you have showed me. Thanks Thanks.

      Hermoso ficus.
      ¿Ese árbol es el resultado de una fusión de varios árboles?
      Saludos, Nigel.

    What a healthy looking tree top to bottom. You are the root master.

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    Now I know why your root pruning works for you. The trees feel the care you take and are one with you as you handle their roots. Almost like they are your little puppy dog of 2 weeks old. Great connection you have with the trees, Dr. Nigel.

    Nigel is this ficus a tiger bark? The trunks look familiar.

    : What should be the ideal height of a bonsai, to its trunk thickness?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Před 3 dny +1

      It depends on the type and style of the tree. I like to look at trees in nature and try and match the proportions to a real life tree!

    Hey Nigel this might be out of curiosity, may I ask how old are you?😅
