Hey there all i picked this on up at ..dare i say it IKEA lol i mean 36.99 i couldnt resist its about 9 inch, i use to hate looking at these thinking thats not a bonsai!! but for some reason after reseaching and watching videos online i just fell in love with them...grow huge arial roots with a nice big thick canopy looking like something out of the jungle book!
Some questions tho, some places i have read say they are two ficus's fused together.. is this true? and also , how are these to propagate ? i hear they are rather easy and quite hardy. also any styling tips would be greatly appreciated.. i plan on doing a cutting and making a pine style ( ish ) bonsai with huge airial roots.
Also how bad is it to hack chunks of roots off on these guys ?
any tips and tricks or styling suggestions would be greatly appreciated and yes i did put it in a bonsai soil mix of 1:1:1 akadama , lava rock and pumice with a small bit of orchard
