Ficus coreana,

Post by Andreas »

Here a start of the Ficus coreana I have cultivated from one plant, this plant has given me a lot of cuttings over the past 5 years. Lets have a look from the beginning to what it has come to. We start with the plants I have grown over the past two years. I have cut off most branches and potted them to make new creation. I will post them all to see what they became.
To split or get new grow I pinch out the new growth while the leaves not have opened.

Hi Andreas,
You have a good wiring technique.
With the last plant, I would like to see the rock removed because I don't think it adds so much to the composition. If you remove it and bring the roots closer together and have all the branches going in one direction, I think you will improve it.
Just one opinion of course..
Mike

Thanks for viewing and comment, however i have not post all pictures yet, neither is the tree finished. The rock is all the way down in the pot, give me a couple of days to follow up. I am going to add some other Ficus coreana on a swamp oak wood today. I am always keen to get some advice, stay tuned.

Here now all ficus coreana growth in the last year. These trees are now going into the next total de foliating that then will bring smaller leaves and enable me to wire them into desired shapes. Please compare leave size from pictures above and now.

Re potting will be done after wiring and two weeks resting period. I only re-pott trees with rising moon, during full moon and descending moon cutting and maintenance take place. All rocks are until the bottom of the pot.

De foliating the rest of the bunch, I wait for the next generation of branches then go through the process of cutting leaves again.
