Mame Benjamina - Matchbox Pot

[SilverShoe99]

I bought a little matchbox sized mame pot from @sorce a few months back with a plan to put a little ficus in it. Today, I made good on my idea.

Tree:



Pot:



Prepped:



Got a decent start to some good radial roots on this little Benjamina:



Roots pruned, with a little piece of pumice jammed into the empty space under the base of the tree:



And the "finished" planting:



This is in no way a finished composition, more a learning experience in terms of keeping a tree alive in such a small container.

Great start
I have a few mame ficus - benjamina and microcarpa. As long as they don’t go completely dry they do great.
I’m excited for updates!
