Ficus virens future?

Post by Hornet »

Collected this small virens today, was just sitting in a pocket of leaf litter with the 1 root climbing over some rock. It was growing how you see it in the pics, pretty much upside down. No idea what to do with it, can anyone see a decent future in this tree or is it destined to become phasmid food?

Hi John,

It is hard to suggest anything at this stage, I guess. Grow it a bit bigger and stronger I guess :)

Good luck.

i think getting it potted with its weird upside down growth may end up being a bit of a test lol
