Root Fusion Bonsai
Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Seed sprouted around : mid Sept, 2015
This is Part 3. Read Part 1 & Part 2.
Here I show an update on my 2.5 yrs old ficus mini bonsai. The water roots have grown thick and have partly fused together. They were cut off and planted as a root cutting. The fused roots will now become a fused trunk. This is a unique specimen in my collection and, I have not seen anything like this on the internet. I have seen trunk fusion projects but this is different.

Root Over Rock Bonsai Progression - Part 2
Tree Species : Ficus Religiosa (Peepal tree)
This is a 3 month progression of my root over rock mini bonsai project using 1 year old cuttings of ficus religiosa / peepal tree. Fantastic trunk thickening happened due to regular feeding of liquid NPK and the wires brutally cut into the trunk. So I removed the wiring, did some pruning of roots & leaves, got rid of insects & their eggs. They should be fine in another 3 months.

Bonsai From Seed In 2 Years !
Tree species : White Lead Tree (Leucaena Leucocephala / Su-babul)
Sprouted around : Aug 7, 2015
This is a 2 year progression story of my bonsai tree grown from a seed. While many countries consider it as a weed / invasive species, I feel it is a perfect bonsai material, for beginners since it is very tolerant of pests & beginner mistakes.
It is a rugged fast growing tree and available in plenty around the area where I live. This story also represents my growth in bonsai, from total ignorance to some knowledge now :-) The above video is part 3 of this story, on my blog.

Root Escape Technique For Mini Bonsai Of Ficus Religiosa Cuttings
Tree Species : Ficus Religiosa (Peepal tree)
One easy way to grow mini bonsai in tiny containers is to allow the roots to escape from the main pot to another bigger pot or ground or water. The roots outside the main pot are sacrificial and need periodic pruning.
This video shows how I developed 3 ficus specimens, pruned their roots & trunk, created a root-over-rock setup, wired the trunks and planted into a bigger container.
