This has been in the mould for around 6 months

, I like the thought of figs hanging off cliffs so these N.T Rock Figs were planted on top of a home made rock . Yes its meant to be upside down defying gravity .

I removed it from the training pot to make a counter weight pot/tray base and to have a sneak peek at the roots

This has had the foil removed and moss added several months back . The moss was used as a growing medium as well as a moisture barrier for the root to grow in and keep cool

. Neglected in the hothouse It didn't get regular watering to the rear of the rock . I will give it a trim and slowly remove the moss to expose the roots .
