This tree belongs to the friend Flaviano Storani Santos of Rio De Janeiro.
It is a Ficus Retusa easily found in our country. Below the process of evolution of the tree in 1 year.
Flaviano Santos Wrotes:
Today, I moved in a tree that was presented here one day after its collected.
Day 14/02/2009 it makes one year and would like to show the evolution.
To comment that this project, I have made a fertilization extreme, with an exaggerated solar exposition, using the good one and old technique leaves of it to grow, trims…
We go the photos: It in the day where it arrived:
Image
First day...
Image
25 days...
Image
60 days after...
Here, I carried through the first intervention, election of what it found would be the main branches, buys at auction of the cuts and choice of the side would be the front, was made also one correction in an enormous scar beyond an attempt to stimulate the aerial roots.
Image
After this moved, it was in the fattening and the maximum , made was to keep the standard of time for the prunings and fertilization.
Image
I had modified the positioning of the front, in the truth I changed therefore the left side I was more I finish and this deprived of characteristics the structure, and there I left the twig that made the apex to go up.
Image
Process of cicatrization of the scars:
Image
Image
Idecided to adjust the positioning of the branches of deep also, by the way, I made a beautiful cleanness.
I removed the marks of old prunings, and tried to place it of a form already to search my pro future agreement of it.

Fertilizers used in this process are organic and made every 2 months ...
They are based on the formula of Bokashi or Dog Feed, which are very slow release.
And also use a fertilizer called: Biofert Plus, similar to Dinogrow ...
A Dog feed, has a formula very similar to the Bokashi, and does not contain ammonia in its formula ...
In the absence of one, we use the other ...
