- My Ficus religiosa bonsai gets root pruned and planted in it's new bonsai pot!
Today's update is my progress on the new bonsai greenhouse.
Ficus religiosa is known as the Sacred Fig, Bo Fig, bodhi tree, pippala tree, peepul tree, peepal tree or ashwattha tree in India and Nepal.
For previous videos of this tree, click the playlist here....

I'm an Egyptian, living in India from the last five years. Here in India, this tree is called Peepal Tree and is considered as sacred and is worshipped by Hindus. It grows so fast and possibly in every condition and places like small cracks in buildings, bridges, roads and any abandoned place making it big with survival tenures for thousands of years!
Your repotting videos with a lot of root work are THE BEST!!!
Thank you Gary!
Watching you work those roots is like watching a conductor work their orchestra. Very impressive. Thanks
Thank you Matt!
Worth for the teeny wait. The ficus looks beautiful in the new pot
Thanks Aija, I'm looking forward to more work on the Ficus as it grows!
Beautiful tree beautiful trunk
I really enjoyed watching the green house progress. Can't wait to see it finished.
Thank you, i haven't gotten a lot of time to work on it yet, but I'll keep at it when I can!
I love the bantum rooster crowing in the background.
The Ficus Religiosa is looking fabulous in that pot ! I think having the tree sit slightly higher in this pot also makes a big difference. Great to see some posts up for the new green house.
Thank you J! Lots of work to go!
Awesome video…thanks for sharing
Nigel you don't need to keep leveling the post. Just nail two 2x4's at an angle on perpendicular sides supporting into the ground. Level and nail the bottoms to wood stakes (whatever scrap wood you have that you can shove in the ground a decent ways). Now it stays level while working and drying. If you really want to nail out some holes and pours, rent an auger and a mixer from home depot. You could get all your posts done in a weekend. If you dont want to get the auger, still highly recommend the mixer. So so much easier, right consistency. And it's inexpensive to rent.
My dad saved even more money by having the kids mix the concrete.
Also mixing outside the hole will get him a more consistent mix and you can check your water and all. Then just pour and get air out with the pole.
Good ideas, thanks for all the suggestions!
Good pot selection! This tree is looking FANTASTIC!
Thank you Pat. I like it in the new pot also! I hope it starts to grow soon!
I was really busy this summer and had little time to watch your videos, this Ficus was always one of my favorites from your collection and you did an amazing job over the last six years.
Hope you got that walnut tree along your Greenhouse dug out.
Greetings from Switzerland
I've decided to integrate the Walnut tree into the greenhouse, I may regret that decision, but I'll try! The Ficus religiosa seems to be responding well to re potting, it's already starting to grow new leaves!
new camera is still impressing me with each new video^^ I think your 3d printed African lady figure would look great under that tree also, looks like theres maybe even enough room for the monk and one of his forest settings^^
Thank you, good ideas! I still have a lot to learn and play with on the new camera!
Maybe it is worth to try comparing two videos. One from previous video with the tree and the newest one. Just to show the intentions before and now. I do it by switching tabs on my chrome actually :D This is why I'm asking. Greetings from Poland :) I'm a huge fan
Thank you, a very good idea, I'll try and do more of that in the upcoming years as the trees develop!
hi sir. this one of my favrt tree. in india its ver famos . and i hav many sir. thanks for this butyfull vedio.
Thank you Asgar, I hope to develop it into a beauty!
sure sir. must vel cum
The still frame for this video looked to me like you had trunk chopped that ficus. I was practically read to gasp.
Looking at compare an contrast choices with ficus roots; pot more often and get more opportunities to improve root appearance ( bifercation) or pot less often to promote thicker roots to help tree scale for the trunk?.. asking for a friend lol...
I prefer to pot every two to three years with the Ficus. It allows for good growth of the tree and roots, but is often enough to keep the roots from getting too wild and out of balance.
That's beautiful xx
Thank you Bev!
i rly like this tree.
A lot of work for the greenhouse.
Wonderful! Be a while before my ficus comes close to this one... Patience is .... difficult sometimes Eh...
Thank you Marysol, patience is definitely required in bonsai! No pruning until the tree is ready!
👌👌👌...!!!
Great job with your Ficus religiosa, Nigel! It looks beautiful. Also, thanks for telling me the name of those wasps... I always wondered what they were doing in newly-dug holes!
Thanks Shawn, the wasp's stayed busy in the holes, I feel kind of bad filling them in!
@@TheBonsaiZone - You could make another hole for them that you don't need to fill in! LOL
I have a brother with about 10 years experience with fencing. He just pours a five gallon bucket of water into the hole and empties the cement bag on top of it. no need to mix splash a little over the top iif it doesnt' soak all the way up.
Thanks Paul, sounds like a good technique!
Beautiful
Thank you Manohar!
Love the videos! I have a schefflera clump style and I was wondering if I could send you a picture to get your opinion on what I should do with it in it’s current state of development.
With thanks, Thomas
I have just got a ficus benjamina do you think it would be save to re-pot this plant
i love your creation... it inspires me a lot to be a bonsai artist... i want to show you some of my bonsai tree.. how could i share pictures of my bonsai with you ???
Hello, I have several Religiosa ficus trees and sometimes I have trouble finding the right mix of soil. What is the composition of your mixture? thank you
You made a comment about chopping the trunk off and starting over with the roots. I don't know iif that would work with a fig or not but I have seen it done quite successfully with willows. they root easily.
It would work I'm sure, but I'd be starting all over with the roots. I'd rather build on the root base that I have. Creating a new one would weaken the tree for many years until the roots caught up with the top growth.
how old is this plant? was it started from a cutting?
When we disturb those main roots, it wont get damage?
You can do a lot of root work to a tree, as long as you take good care of it until the new roots start to grow.
What is the age of the plant
I would've been curious to see you think about how you would position the back of the tree, if you were to use it as the front! Just out of curiosity since you said you liked the roots back there so much.
The front may change in the future, but I'll see how the roots develop. I'm hoping that I get aerial roots some day and roots forming from the trunk. These new roots might completely cover the old root system and change the look of the root base.
How old is this tree, Nigel? I have one which is about 3 years old with few aerial roots. Trying to grow it as bonsai.
This Ficus is about 25 years old now!
Gorgeous!
The tree doesn't mind the root trim? Does it set it backwards with growth? Thanks for any help and info. I'm a big fan ❤️🌿
It usually recovers and grows even better once the new soil surrounds the roots. Most topical's can be re potted in mid summer and the tree will hardly miss a beat!
Dear Nigel, where is video about moss, eagerly waiting.
Hi Nigel, I have a ficus Benjamina which is my first bonsai tree. I started it back in 2015. I’ve learned watching your videos and I’ve used this tree to experiment and learn. I have a first branch that’s about 1/4” thick near the trunk and it thins out at the tip. It has about 4 leaves at the end. Question is how can I get this branch to back bud. It seems like leaves only grow on the end. The rest of the tree has good growth. Would love this branch to back bud so I can develop secondary branches.
Any suggestions?? Sorry for the long explanation. Always appreciate your advice. Thank you
The Ficus benjamina can be difficult to get it to back bud. You can cut ab incision in the branch, this will disrupt the flow of sap and you may get a branch emerge behind the incision point. You can also graft a cutting from the same tree to the branch using an approach graft. The other option is to let the branch grow with vigor and then cut it back hard, hopefully it will grow new shoots from the end!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone thanks I’ll give one of those ideas a try. I was wondering if I could do a graft on a branch thanks for the advice.
Your videos are so helpful for me to start a new bonsai plants I'm waiting for pulmonary bonsai update & how can I send you a photos of my plants.
The Plumeria hasn't gotten it's leaves yet, they should come out soon I hope!
Hey Nigel, do you use the same soil for all of your trees? What's the mixture you use usually? I can see some perlite, thank you in advantage
Yes I use the same soil, 50 percent perlite and 50 percent turface. Here is how I water and fertilize this soil.......

Is there a possibility to buy somewhere in europe religiosa ?
You may have to order seeds online, they are quite rare in nurseries!
Another commenter said they wanted to buy this tree, and while I'm not looking to purchase, it made me wonder: I know you trade cuttings and such with your group, but do you ever sell your trees?
No, I don't sell any trees, I'll wait until I'm getting old, hopefully 30 years from now, and then give them away.
Do you have mulberry?
I don't and I've always wanted one. We'll be starting Mulberry trees for the orchard this coming year, I'll have to grow an extra one for me!
@@TheBonsaiZone nice,I'm about to grow some from seeds(alba and negra)
🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Update on the Acacia forrest pleaseeeee 🔥🔥🔥🥺
They are getting tall, so hopefully I can make a video on them soon.
Second foist...
I’ve been searching for some good seeds, I’ve ordered from amazon and eBay with little luck. Any seeds or advice would be amazing!!!!!
I have had good luck with seeds from this company....

They sell a good selection of seeds suitable for bonsai!
Đất trồng bonsai của bạn gồm những gì vậy
Tôi sống ở Ontario Canada. Tôi chỉ nhận được 4 tháng trong năm miễn phí. Thời gian còn lại của cây phải được giữ trong nhà.
@@TheBonsaiZone Đất trồng của bạn gồm có những chất gì? Làm thế nào để trộn hỗn hợp đất trồng tốt cho cây bonsai
Tôi sử dụng hỗn hợp 50/50 của perlite và turface. Tôi bón phân cho cây bằng một lượng phân bón rất nhỏ mỗi lần tưới nước. Đất được rây đến cỡ hạt 3 đến 4mm. Bạn có thể thay thế turface bằng đá nham thạch, hoặc đá bọt.
@@TheBonsaiZone tôi sống ở Việt Nam không có những thứ đá Perlite và đá nham thạch, tôi chỉ dùng đất thịt trên mặt ruộng và sàn kích cỡ 2mm , và trộn thêm sỏi, cát và phân hữu cơ,và 1 loại đất nung ở nhiệt độ 1200 độ C, mỗi thứ trộn đều..theo bạn nghĩ như vậy có được không? Vì tôi chỉ biết đến bonsai là 1 thành viên nghiệp dư và rất vinh dự được bạn hướng dẫn thêm....tôi có thể kết bạn qua tài khoản trò chuyện massage không?
Thành phần đất của bạn nghe có vẻ tốt, điều quan trọng là nó thoát nước tốt và bắt đầu khô vào cuối một ngày nắng nóng. Thường xuyên tưới nước và bón phân sẽ giữ cho cây của bạn khỏe mạnh. Bạn có thể gửi email cho tôi tại ...

We missed the soil adding...not worth it
I hit the record button, but just not quite enough, I missed the whole process on video!
@@TheBonsaiZone it's ok...better luck next time..
N
ice pot!
🇩🇰👍
Thanks Jan!
Socks and sandals Nigel...
Yes, I know it's totally cool!.....not.
Nigel, would you sell this bonsai to me? Willing to pay up tp 4 digits for it.
I don't sell any trees, but they will all be given away in hopefully 30 years when I get old!
I have a ficus religiousa that is quite young grown from a seedling.. At what point do you consider trimming its leaves?
When you do consider giving it away. Please give me your ficus religousa.
Trimming the leaves is good if you want to see the structure of the tree clearly for pruning. It does take vigor out of the tree, so it should only be done on a strong healthy tree. The only other reason I would trim off the leaves is to prepare the tree for a show. The new leaves will grow back in smaller then the original ones. You can also do some selective leaf removal if a leaf is over shadowing a bud that you want to develop down below. I find I'm always doing a bit of selective thinning just to get light to all of the branches.
