I took a tiger and put it under a big plastic jar.
I took 3 young cuttings from a tiger bark ficus mallsai I recently bought, wired them together, stuck them in a block of fiber, set it on a new pot, and put it under a big plastic jar. So far it is happy and growing new leaves.

This is phenomenal progress, congratulations. This is why I want to try fusion with ficus. I think I'll be saving all of my ficus cuttings and to try to get them to root for further experimentation like this later.Two years on.. I raised it up and trimmed roots and shoots.

Do you have a special indoor grow set up (since you are in CO)?

lol that's nuts, thanks for sharing. It's like those Trident fusions with a ton of vertical whips, except you've got a crazy coil.
They are called Rock Wool or Stone Wool - it's actually like spun rock fiber, something like that. Supposed to have great balance of aeration and liquid retention for seedlings.So, what is that block of fiber? I tried to google it but just got pics of carbon fiber blocks lol.
That looks super cool, I like the progression over 2 years.
