I have recently become interested in cascade plantings, and have started out with a couple of ficus. One is mame-size, and will probably never be more than entertaining, but the other is larger and I hope to eventually make something of it.
For now, it's pretty ugly. Very roughly wired and repotted today into an 11"H Zisha unglazed square pot. It is probably over-potted, but it will do for growing out. Also, I planted it deep, hiding a decent wide, grasping nebari under the soil for now.
The thing that bothers me the most is the long, cylindrical section of the cascading trunk below the pot rim. You can see there is a downward-facing bud close to the pot that could be grown into a new cascading trunk, removing either everything beyond that or chopping to the first horizontal branch.
For now, this will grow a while.
