Hey! If you like this ficus video, check out my other video on pruning and shaping Ficus Bonsai! th-cam.com/video/Vbrjo6L6WcI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NotionBonsai
I appreciate you saying that there is no one way to do bonsai. I agree. As with any art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, of course... ...a living bonsai is ALWAYS more beautiful than a dead one!
I am so glad I found this! I tried propagating our ficus benjamina last year. Our parent plant was very overgrown, so I had 10 cuttings. I put them in soil instead of water, because someone told me to. Only 3 survived! I didn't know if it would work with water, but now that I know, I will try it again in water! Thanks!!
Think I've tried water in the past, either the cutting was too thick or the Australian climate won't let this method work, I'm trying both bonsai soil and water, I'll report back. BTW needed to do this because some jerk neighbour is trying to kill the mature parent tree for a city view. Humans can be so stupid. It will be built out one day then she'll have no privacy! And these take 20 years to grow!
this was an incredibly helpful video!!! love the "and i'm also gonna teach you to make a clump ficus mame, and also i'm gonna teach you how i water them." bonus tips that fit seamlessly into the rest of the video. can't wait to try this out!!!
I have been putting cuttings in moist potting soil and bagging them, works pretty good. I have some ficus I will be pruning soon, so will be seeing how the water method works. Thank you.
TH-cam recommended to this me after I had searched for some information on a new ginseng ficus tree I bought last weekend. Last night I was watering it and cleaning it up some and noticed one of the branches wasn't actually connected to the tree. So I plopped it in some water based on the thumbnail alone and figured I'd better give this a watch to make sure I did that correctly. I shall wait and see what happens! So glad for this recommendation!
Hey! I'm glad to hear that you found this video recommendation helpful for your new ginseng ficus tree! I hope that it roots for you! It can take a while depending on the species of ficus so be patient and keep changing the water so it doesnt grow algae 🪴😄💖
Brilliant tutorial :) I've never bonzaied but I do find it very satisfying to watch roots sprouting out of cuttings. I miss having plants about the place, but I go away too much and it's awkward having to ask people to come in and water them all the time.
This was so helpful, thank you. I just had to do some radical pruning of my very large ficus and I really think I’ll “branch” out with some minis now that I have watched this.
Great job, young man...great communication skills AND it's obvious you know what you're doing. Enjoy a long life of bonsai. I only wish I'd taken it up at your age instead of wasting so many years on the golf course.
Thanks for this nifty video. I'm new to bonsai (and gardening in general!) and am unsure how to get started with a ficus religiosa plant I have. It is about 20-25cms tall with a 1-1.5cm diameter trunk (measured at the base) with no branches - just leaves. Also, since I've had it, most of the new leaf growth is gathered at the very base of the trunk in a cluster - about 8 leaves at the moment. Ideas for a starting point would be super helpful!
Thanks for your hard work in making the video. I grow lots of ficus species and love them so good to see your encouragement to grow and propagate figs. Great video 👍🌱
Another awesome video! Your bonsai content is awesome, but I’m just as impressed with the technical video stuff- great filming, sound quality, editing. Love the production!
Amazing video, thanks so much! I wish I had a friend who’s as obsessed with plants as me, with a friend like you you’d always have something new to learn 🥺
Hey thanks so much Jas! I'm glad there are others out there also that are obsessed with Bonsai and horticulture!! There will be lots more videos to come!
Great instruction here. Thank you. What happens to the wire wrapped around the base of the 3 cuttings as the plant grows? Will that not strangle the plant at the base or does the outward pressure during the growth unravel the wire?
Love your channel ❤️ I just started to learn and I have 2 bonsai plants. One lost all it leaves because the store never watered the plant enough. Trying to keep it alive.
I just took cuttings from my ficus ginseng but it's my first try so I'll see how that goes haha. :) Thanks for a very informative tutorial. Looking forward to digging through your other videos! I'm very new to bonsai.
with a ficus ginseng , you have to remember that the branches and roots are not from the same tree because its grafted so if a branch grows directly from the roots and not the graft then you will get nice roots but not dense leaves , and if you take a cutting from the graft then it will have nice dense leaves but not a nice thick root system.
my old method was to leave 2 leaves + the new bud on a cutting if its small and straight into bonsai soil with the stem reaching the bottom of the propagation tray, but my new way is to put it into a plastic cup with water and leave it for several weeks so exactly like in the video.
im just trying to get into bonsai and i chosen a ficus for my first one, since it looks like a great starter.... and this video has hhjelped me alot bro keep it up!
love how you connected a few cuttings together! I’m going to try that next with my cuttings ❤️ When the ones i place in pots get so tall, do you recommend cutting off the top so they’ll branch out? Just learning ~thanks! 🥰
Thanks for your videos! I find them very informative and enjoy looking at them. A few days ago I took cuttings from the ficus I bought in October and put them in glasses with water. Hopefully this works as well for me as it does for you. I'm going to put them in an old aquarium soon and then cover it with cling film because of the humidity. Have you changed the water in between?
I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and I hope your ficus cuttings thrive! When propagating ficus cuttings in water, changing the water periodically can be beneficial to maintain a clean and oxygenated environment for the roots. It helps prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and provides the cuttings with fresh nutrients. I recommend changing the water every few days or whenever you notice it becoming cloudy.
I've been rooting Ficus cuttings potted in coco coir which I leave sitting in a tray of water. The coco coir wicks up the water keeping it moist effortlessly.
I have a Ficus tree. When we got it about 20 years ago, it was 3 trunks braided together. Over the years the 3 separate trunks have grown together and its 1 trunk but you can still see the outside of the braids.
cool little fusion project on the parent tree. new sub and thumbs for you... i just recently saw a YT video. india bonsai guy took a pen thick ficus cutting and split it up the bottom into 4 sections. then rooted it. and split each 4th into 2 (so 8 cuts all together up the base of the rooted cutting) it was a progression video. he shows the same cutting a year or 2 later. with the most amazing root base flare. from nothing but a cutting.
my fave way is with cuttings in pure akadama my friend. ficus go wild in akadama for some reason. . saying that i rarely do anything even house plants in an akadama mix.. plants just go on a growth bonanza give it a go youll be pleasantly surprised :)
I just put the cuttings in soil and keep them moist here in So. CA. No root hormone or anything else. Partial sun for a month and then full sun when they start growing. Works just about any time of year if I avoid extremes like too wet and cold or too hot.
Another great video, thanks! I do it in the same way, the only difference is I use a cotton thread to keep the trunks joined (Overtime the watering and the use of fertilizer would disintegrate string). 🙂
Tips: Aquanet makes a great Antitranspirant spray... also the best cloner on the planet is a "Power Cloner" / aka Aeroponic Cloner... Powerful roots in 7 days, with no root hormone required. If you really want some awesome Ficus Bonsai fast, try air layering. You can also pre-shape the cutting while still on the donor plant...
Would you try rooting in water a bigger cutting from ficus that is maybe 5-6mm thick? Im a beginner and this would be my very first time rooting something bigger (im cutting my current bonsai in half essentially) But im getting so many conflicting views from other bonsai fans hence im stuck.
Nice video mate thanks. :) I have a question, when i try to root my ficus cuttings (like the ones in your video) in water the leaves turn black eventually, then fall off and die without rooting. Any guesses as to why that happens? (was kind of a small conteiner maybe that's why?)
I've been looking for a nice Ficus Benjamina with leaves about the same size as the one in this video. I was going to ask you what variety it was, but I saw the "Primrose" on the pot and did a little searching on their site, and to me it looks like you might have Ficus Benjamina 'Natasha' (sometimes spelled 'Natasja') which is more of a dwarf form Benjamina similar to Nigel Saunders'. I wasn't sure if you knew exactly what variety, so that's my best guess.
love your channel! found it by this video... where your accent from if you dont mind me asking. Im in Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada and we sound very similar
Hey thanks for watching 😇 It all depends on how quickly the soil dries out for you. I'd advise to never let the soil dry out completely. Hope this helps!
Hello i noticed some fuzzy growth on my stem . Almaot looks like mold possibly? I keep chamgon water ebery few days. I have some white spots on the stem
When adding compost on top of akadama soil or any coarse-grained substrate, there's a possibility that the compost may wash out of the pot with the first watering. To mitigate this issue, it's advisable to mix the compost thoroughly with the akadama soil before application. This ensures better integration and reduces the likelihood of the compost being washed away. Applying a thinner layer of compost and using a gentle watering technique can help minimize disturbance to the soil surface and prevent the loss of compost. Regular monitoring and adjustments based on observation can also help maintain the desired compost layer and its benefits for the bonsai tree's health and growth. 🌱🌿🌺
Yes, the wire should be taken off before it bites into the trunk. I think I took it off 2 weeks later and all of the cuttings fused together at the base
Omg they're ravenous. Just regular water? I have a water reservoir from my green wall that has a little h2o2 and leftover nutrient that cycles through. Think I can set some branches in there? I have a 36" ficus danita bush that I want to put into my plant wall
Yes, you can definitely use regular water to propagate branches from your Ficus danita bush. However, if your water reservoir contains hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and leftover nutrients from your green wall, it may not be suitable for propagation. Hydrogen peroxide can potentially damage delicate root structures, and the nutrient solution may not be necessary for initial root development. For successful propagation, it's best to use clean, plain water without any additives. If you're keen on using your water reservoir, you could consider diluting the solution significantly to reduce any potential harm to the cuttings. However, it's generally safer to stick with plain water for propagation purposes.

I always use a well draining soil, and then in full sun. Never had an issue. Oh and I also do this in beginning of summer.
Did it work?
I always use water for propagation always always always, it is the most safeproof way by far
Ficus root so easily. They even make great root over rock plantings. Great video!

Hey! Welcome over to the Bonsai channel 😄 aw it's a shame! Maybe you'll get back into it someday!
Get yourself some jade (crassula ovata), mini jade (portulacaria afra) and aeonium bonsai, they can go without water for weeks
Bro you can just build a small easy automatic watering system for your plants

Do u change out the water the cuttings r in from time to time during those few weeks till u pot them?
amazing !!!!!

Hey thanks so much! It's not but I don't think it would hurt 😀 let me know how it works if you try it!
I have a question. When you pour compost on akadama soil (coarse-grained soil), doesn't the compost come out of the pot with the first watering?
When adding compost on top of akadama soil or any coarse-grained substrate, there's a possibility that the compost may wash out of the pot with the first watering. To mitigate this issue, it's advisable to mix the compost thoroughly with the akadama soil before application.

Regular monitoring and adjustments based on observation can also help maintain the desired compost layer and its benefits for the bonsai tree's health and growth. 🌱🌿🌺

Yes it is good to keep changing the water so that algae does not form 🤗

Are the wires around the roots coming off anytime?
Yes, the wire should be taken off before it bites into the trunk. I think I took it off 2 weeks later and all of the cuttings fused together at the base
