As friends do when you tell them you’re into bonsai and just moved to a new house: they buy you a ficus from Ikea as a housewarming gift.
I know what the sentiment is regarding these on bnut and yes, they’re still my friends. I even started to take a liking to the largest specimen I bought, which I immediately chopped to get rid of the tuberino’s, planted in a relatively large pot and just left growing since January. Since then there’s been new growth and I’ve wired some branches:
Now I was thinking it would be way too soon to get this bad boy (judging by the root on the side) in a smaller pot with a coarser medium, but then I checked the bottom:
Are these roots peeking through and would it be wise to repot soon? If so, would I be able to put it in a more shallow pot? Do I put it in a larger training pot and try the technique with the board screwed in the bottom of the tree to attempt something resembling nebari? Or do I just leave it as is until the next repotting season comes along? AAAAAAAAAH!
