Repotting on Franken-Ficus Friday, The Bonsai Zone, July 2022

- Опубліковано 8 лип 2022
- My Fusion Ficus benjamina is getting a bonsai pot after growing for 7 years in a seed tray! The tree is a medium leaf size, Ficus benjamina.
I'm root pruning and re potting to improve the root base and I also get a birthday surprise in the mail!
Check out the UA-cam channel "Bonsai Science" to see where my birthday wishes came from!!

From disaster to greatness... the story of the Frankenficus continues... looking better and better...
Thanks Leszek, I just have to get the canopy sorted and growing well!! It's been a real roller coaster with this tree!
For me, the new pot makes the tree feel much brighter.
Yes, it makes me smile!!!
Franken-Ficus Friday... Love it!
Yes! Thank you!
That’s quite a nice upgrade from the seed tray. It’s been amazing watching this tree develop over the years. Just beautiful. Thanks, keep growing
Thanks Matt, yes the seed tray did a great job, no doubt it will grow many more trees before it falls apart!!
I love this tree. Long live the franken ficus!!
It's alive, it's alive!!!!
Yay! Ficus Friday!!
I love Ficus Friday's!!
Your Franken-Ficus has developed into an absolute adorable tree. Lovley roots, amazing trunkshape, perfect canapé and a gorgeous pot. ❤🌱🙏 Love it!

Esse bonsai sim está parecendo um ficus como ele é na natureza 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The tree looks great in this pot, Nigel! Love its character, one of my most favourite trees in your collection :) And belated birthday wishes!!!
Thanks Olga, I hope it fills out well again this summer!!!
Great job beautiful pot for that tree
Thanks Michael!!!
One of my favorite trees of yours
Thanks so much!!! I love it in the new pot!!
I know I’m late to comment here. I did not want to rush watching this root work though. Daggum, was that fascinating! Your consistency is on point, and your knowledge is through the roof. I was not aware those tater-roots were for hurricane anchors, just figured that’s what tropicals do to store extra starches/sugars.
So cool if you to highlight Emily as well. Keep on, good sir…keep on
I can't believe how amazing this looks from what it looked like a few years ago when you put the top on
Thanks, Ficus are amazing trees!!
I've started my own after seeing yours, never been much of an indoor plant person, but yours have inspired me I'm even looking for a bongavillia to add next.
Nice result Nigel.
The combination is great.
Grts
Kennet
Thanks Kennet, the tree is starting to fill out at the front now, some day the canopy will look nice!
positively fantastic!!!!!!
Looks great in that pot Nigel!
Thank you, I love it too!!
The Frankenficus looks good in its new pot. Quite the upgrade from the seed tray. I wonder which tree will go into the marble pot!

Hi Nigel, just thought of sharing this :
To see amazing examples of Indonesian fusion bonsai, on youtube search for a channel called "Program Bonsai Lampung" and watch his playlist called "Bonsai Kimeng".
The first 3 videos have English subtitles. Though the English is bad, one gets a decent idea of what is going on.
Thanks so much Vinny, I hope you post another video, I miss your humor!!! I'll check out the channel!!
what an amazing bonsai,. 👍🥹
your job always amazing..
Many many thanks!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone you are welcome 🥹
Namasty ji very very good Root Purening sir you're A Great master make a Bonsai I Like Ashok kumar bonsai vatika India🇮🇳
Thanks so much Ashok!!!
I know it is old but the last year alone it have grown alot
Yes, it is doing well, I do try and spoil the tree!
Hey Nigel love your show! quick question where did you acquire your root rake?
Hello Chris, it was from a second hand store, it was part of an indoor gardening kit. I haven't found another like it anywhere!
New to bonsai and I’m just curious what soil are you using ? I guess what bonsai soul should I use?
Is this pine bark in ur substrate? I like that ficus !!!!
It's actually Fir bark, sold as reptile bark in the pet store!!
First Nigel!
Nice GEORGE!!!
Nise
Nice video. Do you always bare-root your plants when you repot them?
Yes, it gives you a really good look at the roots so you can make good decisions on your root pruning! I have found no drawbacks to bare rooting, as long as your aftercare is good!
For roots that will always be buried and under the ground why is looks/flow the major concern? Not talking about surface roots. Should those roots be looked at for the health of the tree first and fitting in the pot? Nobody will ever see those roots unless repotting so to me looks could be a concern but low priority. Am I missing something? Forgive the question from a bonsai newbie
The flare at the base of the tree increases with all the radial surface roots feeding the tree. It's this flare at the root base that makes helps make a tree look old and mature. Each of the radial surface roots feed a branch above. Also as the tree grows larger you can proportionally lift the tree out of the pot, this exposes more of the hidden radial roots! Here is a video about this topic...

@@TheBonsaiZone thank you Nigel!!!! Keep on "Zoning" :-)
Are both sections of that tree alive (top and bottom)? Eventually will this tree look as though it it "one" rather than top/bottom placed together?
Yes, both are living and will totally fuse over time!!
Sir is this fusion tree?
Nigel could you please tell me the name of the oil dry stuff that makes your soil? Thanks
It is called SafetySorb!
@@TheBonsaiZone thanks 👍
Is this the frankenficus?
Yes it is!
@@TheBonsaiZone I just noticed the title!!! Haha. Awesome tree. I'm reporting my tiger bark ficus today! Take care
What soil mix are you using for ficus?
I'm using half perlite and half SafetySorb, then I through in a handful of pine bark.
@@TheBonsaiZone thank you! I really enjoy watching your videos. Learning alot, appreciate it.
👍👌🍎🙂
How old
Your hair style is also a bonsai.😜😜
Really is a great Benji I love ficus but have difficulty appreciating Benji. This one though is looking fantastic. I have a lot of trouble with die back on them. I think this is part of my dislike
The placement looks great! And so glad you got those last roots sticking, up; they were bothering me🫢 Ha-ha
Thanks J, it looks nice in the new pot!!
Whats your soil mix? Loads of perlite, bit of woodchips & ... ???
