Ficus on Concrete Progression
Posted: September 2nd, 2022, 4:04 pm
Documenting this progression of a ficus (Moreton Bay Fig?) on a lump of concrete slurry, both of which I collected Inner West Sydney.
The ficus as a cutting last summer.
Concept is a focus growing out of an urban concrete wall. In this case the discarded concrete slurry (no photos of it before - and I have had it buried in the ground until today) has a lot of nice texture that I am hoping the roots will weave their way around. See pics of the top to get an idea.
Previously the concrete was going to be the pot / slab to display the plant horizontally, but seeing how the ficus has been growing I decided it may work better as a “wall”.
Till next year…
