And they say you can't grow tropicals in the north
Thanks Ryan. This convince you to try my magic soil mix?
Congrats!!! Very nice banyan style tree.
Thanks Dario
What are the green sticks in the show pics for?
I have some aerial roots that were less than 2 weeks old and I decided to leave them in there protective straws rather than loose some nicely placed aerial roots.
this ficus is looking really nice and happy. Can you inform more about the current indoor growing conditions? like temperature range, humidity and light conditions?
Thanks ptnull. I try to grow as low tech as possible. Since I grow mostly ficus, IMO given time they can acclimate to any indoor conditions. I always tell people to "let the tree adopt to your growing conditions instead of changing your growing conditions to grow a tree". (This might be only applicable to ficus trees ) I like to enjoy the hobby and this works well for me.
Very impressive! I don't think anyone would be able to tell it was the same tree from the first pic posted. Outstanding work!

Thanks Rob. An 'attaboy' comment from you just made my day. I always follow your trees progressions and they are awesome!
It was a great experience joining a show. Met a lot of really nice bonsai folks. The red ribbon was the icing on the cake.
