Rainy Day Project
The title of this thread is "Rainy Day Project". I will admit that the project did not start out as a "Rainy Day Project", but turned into one when the rains came.
-------------------------
Materials:
-9, 1-2 year old, Ficus Phillipinensis cuttings with a trunk about 1-3 inches in diameter
-Mica pot (and soil)
-------------------------
The goal of this project is to obtain a large diameter trunk in a short amount of time. The quickest way to do this is to use several smaller trunked plants, tie them together, and allow them to fuse. Arial roots will eventually cover around most of the trunk hiding it from view, so I focused more on getting a good root spread than on getting a nicely shaped trunk.
This photo shows the pot which the trees will be planted in next to the trees.
