Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
Certainly haven't killed it Got buds popping all over the place at the moment. I'll chuck chuck up a photo some time soon.kcpoole wrote:a month or 2.

I think I might try to encourage some aerial roots come spring time and get them to fuse to the trunk.To give it a little more character in the coming years.

Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
I left the leader to grow too long, so now this little guy will become bigger than previously planned. Here are some photos a couple of weeks after I gave him a trim:
I couldn't find the little green pot for scale, so I had to use the little blue one which is about the same size.

Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
Cheers mate.
This little guys future is a shohin so he can't get too out of control.
The won't be getting much bigger than he is now, so I have just started working on the branches.

Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
It's an orchid pot, there's a thread in here with a link to an online shop.
He's only been in that one for 6 months or so.

Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
Gave him another trim 10 days later, here is the result:
He has popped buds everywhere again, so I will have so thin him down to the ones I want. Given a little time those large scars should heal over.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: PJ Fig (Little Champ)
Hey Anthony,
The little guy just won't stop growing, I think he needs to move to a smaller pot to get things under control. When I think about it, I should have done it sooner.
The work I'm planning to do now is just bud selection.
