The tiger bark is an indoor tree that needs to be kept away from frost.
Step 1: Plant a cutting.
At any time of the year, cuttings can be planted, but the highest success is likely to occur in the summer.In the spring, airlayering will work best.
Step 2: Grow from seed.
It's easy to grow ficus plants from seed in the spring.
Step 3: The plant is already growing and you can buy it.
Ficus plants are cheap and available in almost every store.There are a lot of problems with mass-produced cheap bonsai, like ugly scars from rusty wire that bit into the bark, unattractive shapes, often poorly grafted branches in odd positions, and sometimes inappropriate pots without drainage holes.On the other hand, bonsai traders offer a wide range of plants and trees, from pre-bonsai to high-value ones, in most cases well-tended and of good quality.
Step 4: The plant should be grown indoors.
The indoor bonsai can't endure frost.If the temperature is above 15 degrees C, it can be kept outside.
Step 5: Make sure there is plenty of light.
The plant needs a lot of light.In the house and outside, full sun is ideal.A shady position is not good.Make sure the tree is defoliated before you place it outside.
Step 6: The temperature should be kept relatively constant.
Due to their thick, waxy leaves, figs can endure low humidity, but they prefer a higher humidity and need high humidity to grow.
Step 7: The ficus needs to be water.
It should be given water whenever the soil gets dry.The Bonsai Ficus is tolerant of occasional over- or underwatering.The water is soft.If you want to maintain humidity, daily mist is advised, but not too much.The fig needs more water in the winter.It only needs to be kept moist if it goes to a cooler place.
Step 8: During the summer,Fertilize weekly or every two weeks.
If the growth doesn't stop, fertilize every two to four weeks.Liquidfertilizer can be used as well as pellets.
Step 9: Prune every now and then.
Pruning helps retain the tree's shape.
Step 10: Go back to two leaves after a few leaves have grown.
Pruning can be done to reduce the size of leaves.The ficus can be left to grow for one or two years if there is a lot of thickness in the trunk.New shoots will grow from old wood and the strong cuts that are necessary afterwards don't affect the health of the ficus.Cut paste should be used to cover larger wounds.
Step 11: The branches need to be wired.
It is easy to wire thin to medium-strong ficus branches.The wires need to be checked frequently as they cut into the bark very quickly.The guy-wires can be left on the tree for a long time.
Step 12: Try a few training techniques.
The plant parts can be fused with some pressure.The branches, roots, and trunks can form appealing structures.This feature can be used to tie a lot of young plants together and allow them to form a single trunk.The figs react well to approach-grafting of branches and roots.If the growing conditions are good, even aerial roots taken from one part of the tree can be replanted in a different position.
Step 13: Shoots or aerial roots can be used to speed up the closing of large wounds.
fig trees can be worked on with nearly unlimited creativity, which increases the appeal of the plant considerably.
Step 14: The roots should be used as part of the designing.
There are many aerial root pillars or root over rock styles that can be found in most ficus bonsai trees.A humidity of nearly 100% is needed to enable aerial root growth in your home.It is possible to use a glass cover, fish tank or construction with transparent sheets for this purpose.Strong pillar-like trunks are formed when aerial roots grow vertically from the branches.
Step 15: Every other year, replant the tree in the spring.
A basic soil mixture can be used.Ficus can tolerate root-pruning.
