Sapling
I have some ficus microcarpa plants, about 6" tall , and one looks like the perfect semi-cascade. my question is, since the roots are almost 15" long, could I take a tall rock, train the roots around the rock about 3/4 from the top, and once the roots are solid in the pot and the soil over the rock removed, gradualy start to coax aerial roots down to the tray? are there any examples of this happening in nature, where a fig seed is deposited on, say, a cliff instead of a host tree, and sends roots down to the forest floor? thanks for tips and ideas.
