After watching Peter chan, he was using a saw to cut through a ficus branch, when he had finished, he tapped the bare branches with the saw blade, after a few weeks he showed the tree again, and where he had bruised the tree with the saw blade, leaves and possibly roots had formed along the branches.
i love and at the same time i hate sphagnum. nice video. At the moment i try to recover a ill ficus with this kinda technic. Thanks for sharing, didnt know you can grow ariel roots like that on a ficus
Oh yeah for sure. The thing is that even on tree that usually easily send out aerial roots in the right climate it’s tough to get and maintain them in temperate climates, especially on a windy balcony as I do. That’s why I gotta „cheat“ a little to eventually get a result that won’t look any different
Do you have instagram i do bonsais now for around 5 or 6 years. i think i can learn al lot from you and maybe you from me. I have a glas thing look like an aqarium only upside down and with a door put a humidifier inside and the roots wil begin to grow and with drinking straw you can actually guide the root to the ground where you want it to be.
This is awesome, I think the tree has a great future and a good owner too!!!
Thanks so much, Nigel! ✨
@@Bonsaifly , thank you very much for your time.
Great work...Be sure to post updates. Greetings from Brazil.
Obrigado! Vou postar um Update bem logo!
I used to be obsessed with aerial roots, the more I get the more I realize most don’t look all that good. Of course I live in Florida and get plenty.
Yes I agree, you have to be very intentional with aerial roots

Interesting, I like it a lot. When I don’t have to pull it off of Ficus trees that is. It is very versatile 🌱
you can use elongated sacrifical braches as well, just root them, and graft them to the braches (not mu idea)
I am actually considering this very approach on this tree, I have a couple of rooted cuttings
Can you do Videos for beginners please that would be really helpful
I am planning on it :)
Steph Curry's off season hobby.
Haha that would be awesome
@@Bonsaifly You look a lot like him. Awesome job.

Creo mejor realizar ese proceso con Akadama! Más fácil separar y mejor calidad de visualización y selección de raíces!
Yes, I might try something like that next time :)
that are no airial roots, those are normal roots, they grew in the moss, not in the air. This is an exposed roots form in my opinion, But nice idea.
