Encouraging root growth on the trunk.
Hi,
Recently I bought a Ficus microcarpa that I thought would make a good bonsai with some work. It has some nice branches and the topper two thirds of the trunk is quite nice. However, lower on the trunk there's a pronounced and very badly done twist. I was hoping to encourage some root growth to hide the lower part of the trunk. My plan was simply to pack the lower part of the trunk in peat moss wrap it in plastic wrap and just leave it for a year or two. Do you think that this would encourage the root growth that I'm aiming for? Thanks for your thoughts on this.
