Thank you for this video. I may have missed it if you mentioned it but how well do these ramify? is there a specific way to get better branching? Also do these propagate from cuttings easy? Subbed!!

Bonsai trees are something sacred, they live in the home with you, until they get an identity. Sometimes that takes generations. Eventually, they get forgotten somewhere, and the roots grow through the pot if its clay, and it just becomes a regular tree.

Carlos, I personally have had good results with fusing/ grafting with "Vet Tape" I got the idea from Tony of "Tony's Bonsai." I've fused mostly ficus so far but I do have 3 Pomegranate whips I bunched together only 3 months ago and they are already starting to fuse! I love the vet tape for attaching Root Over Rock as well.

I have two Ficus Benjamina that I started from cuttings last Oct/Nov and they sat dormant for a while as it was basically ‘ winter’ here in FL, even dropped the leaves at one point. Today they are growing like weeds and they did back bud with barely no root system. Cut it back hard! Next spring. Leave leaves where you can but go for it Carlos! The tree will not be what it could be, the branches are just too lanky. If you cut it back and it gives you lemons, make lemonade! Also they grow pretty fast you could easily start a new tree of the same style if you really want that upright style. However I think a strong tree like that will give buds with some fertilizer, good soil and, sun. Regulate the apex growth so the side branches get stronger. Good luck on whatever you do!
