I bought this 22" tall (inc pot) Ficus earlier in the week. Having no experience at all with ficus I'm not too sure exactly what type it is, but it was advertised as "Ficus Retusa Moretown Bay Fig" Does that make sense? It was a bargain at £22.00 though. My first thoughts on getting it home are that I would like to encourage new aerial roots. I have wrapped the base of the tree in sphagnum moss and will mist-spray it with a mixture of Superthrive and water in which I have steeped willow cuttings. Should this work?
I live in Surrey, which is in the South-East of England and intend to keep it wintered in my conservatory. It can get pretty cool in there over winter, but never below a few degrees above freezing.
regarding the rest of the tree, I will have to consider that, but any suggestions and/or critisism would be very welcome.
Many thanks and best regards.
