Mame
So last fall a buddy of mine came to me who was leaving for college and couldn't take this Ficus Retusa. It was your typical cookie cutter S shaped Walmart tree. So I took it in and placed it in my "Indoor Tropical greenroom" that I made out of a spare bedroom. Works great and have everything I need to keep humidity, lighting, and airflow in there for all my Tropicals to make it threw the cold New Jersey winters. So anyways this passed march I cut this ugly S shaped Ficus. Cut it low enough to make the bottom half into a Mame (which is doing well) and this top half I just carved some bark away, dipped in rooting hormone and stuck right into soil. No speacial care what so ever. It took quickly and was shocked, because this the first time I ever did something with trunk this size. Sure the high humidity and grow lights played a big part. So it's been outside now since first week of April and doing well and roots already coming out the bottom of the pot....... so now what? Can't seem to figure out what I want to do with it. Any suggestions? Should I thin out the apex? Give me some ideas please it be great!!
