Re: [Bougy Fan] Ficus benjamina
I have repotted at a different angle, fed and chopped off some extra bits. Not sure if it will stay at this angle atm - just thinking about it still. I have taken a knob cutter to the branches I cut off - I really like the way benjis callous over wounds even though it takes a while

Re: [Bougy Fan] Ficus benjamina
OK this is starting to take shape now - will leave it to grow on a little while longer before repotting into a bonsai pot

Re: [Bougy Fan] Ficus benjamina
A bit happier with this one - will let it grow until August then I will cut it back and put it into a bonsai pot

Re: [Bougy Fan] Ficus benjamina
Still haven't got as much growth as I had planned. It may do better once it goes into a bonsai pot in a diatomite/zeolite mix. That will be in about 6 weeks I think - depending on the weather.

Re: [Bougy Fan] Ficus benjamina
This fig is finally starting to do something - this afternoon I will pot it into a bonsai pot and give it a good trim
