Mame Willow Leaf Ficus

[RickMartin]

Ive had this little ficus for awhile now and thought it was time to post something on it to keep track of his growth. I did a complete defoliate on this tree on June 22. When i get home from work i will post pics up. It stands about 3.5 in from the soil to where it makes a 90 degree turn to the right. This tree is very healthy and seems to like the Texas heat.

Rick am interested in your pics and a more complete description of how you are caring for this little guy.

 

[RickMartin]

Let me get home from work and i will post some. As far as care i water it 3 times a day because of the little pot its in. I feetilize once a week on saturday. If you defoliate dont ever let the tree dry out. Anything else you want to know just ask

Nope it doing great. I just got busy with life stuff. I have a 3 day weekend coming up, i will get some pics of it then. I did repot into a bigger pot for thickibg up the trunk, then it goes back into a smaller pot. Also wired the cascading branch down more.

What style are you going for on this tree? It's got an interesting design, but the way it juts up to the left doesn't fit any style in particular. Do you want to tilt it to make a cascade or semi-cascade? Or is it just sorta there?
