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.

Bottle Cap Bonsai - Fantastic Growth In 1.5 Months !
Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Cutting taken on : June 21, 2016
I got fantastic growth in 1.5 months after brutally pruning my 1 yr old ficus religiosa mini bonsai, which is being grown as a bottle cap bonsai. To prevent the leafless pruned trunks from drying up, they were misted 3-4 times a day and I was rewarded for the extra care with many new branches. They were kept in shade for 2 weeks & then exposed to filtered morning sunlight.
I am using a hybrid-ponic setup (roots in soil & water) to get fast growth in a compact space. The roots in the water bottle are sacrificial. Water is changed weekly once and liquid NPK is added to it. The soil too is fertilized with it. Pests, their eggs & spidermites were regularly cleaned off the leaves.

Bottle Cap Bonsai - Amazing Ficus Roots !!!
Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Cutting taken on : June 21, 2016
This is a 1 yr progression of a ficus mini bonsai from cutting, growing hydroponically in a bottle cap. The roots in water are sacrificial and will be eventually cut off but they give me a much faster growth than possible in my soil-mix of the same volume.
