Hey all! I posted this on another site and I will post it on this one as well to see what advice I get. I went to my local nursery that has lots of Bonsai material(s) and found this guy, a Willow Leaf Ficus. It is about 1.5 feet tall and has a decent trunk. It wasn't too expensive either. I like it. Anyway, I've thought about air layering the big bare trunk of the tree. Does this species even back-bud well? Or do they (Ficus in general) all back-bud well? I was thinking about doing it between the red lines. Could I go lower? Or should I even air layer this thing at all? It is horribley root bound and the soil it is in is so bad that there are clovers growing in. I'm potting it into some good bonsai soil later. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. I just slip potted it into some nice bonsai soil.
