Propagate Ficus from Cuttings for Bonsai 🌱 *EASY*

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi Everyone! In this video I show you how to propagate the ficus tree from cuttings that you can then use to create a starter clump style Bonsai.
The method of propagation I am showing you is what has always worked for me and I believe is the easiest and best way for beginners!
Simply place your ficus cuttings in a glass of water and within a few weeks you will notice them develop roots. Once the ficus cuttings have roots, simply transfer them to a free draining soil and water them well.
However in this video as a bonus, I show you also how to create a CLUMP STYLE BONSAI. This is best done when trees are very young as they will develop into eachother and fuse together much easier than they would when they are older. The clump style that we create is in the form of a MAME Bonsai.
In the UK the Ficus Bonsai makes an excellent indoor Bonsai or houseplant as it can find it difficult to withstand the outdoor climate. There is a large variety of Ficus Species, this DIY method of propagation should work for the majority of them!

    I am so glad I found this! I tried propagating our ficus benjamina last year. Our parent plant was very overgrown, so I had 10 cuttings. I put them in soil instead of water, because someone told me to. Only 3 survived! I didn't know if it would work with water, but now that I know, I will try it again in water! Thanks!!

    Think I've tried water in the past, either the cutting was too thick or the Australian climate won't let this method work, I'm trying both bonsai soil and water, I'll report back. BTW needed to do this because some jerk neighbour is trying to kill the mature parent tree for a city view. Humans can be so stupid. It will be built out one day then she'll have no privacy! And these take 20 years to grow!

    KZread recommended to this me after I had searched for some information on a new ginseng ficus tree I bought last weekend. Last night I was watering it and cleaning it up some and noticed one of the branches wasn't actually connected to the tree. So I plopped it in some water based on the thumbnail alone and figured I'd better give this a watch to make sure I did that correctly. I shall wait and see what happens! So glad for this recommendation!

    with a ficus ginseng , you have to remember that the branches and roots are not from the same tree because its grafted so if a branch grows directly from the roots and not the graft then you will get nice roots but not dense leaves , and if you take a cutting from the graft then it will have nice dense leaves but not a nice thick root system.

    Thanks for your videos! I find them very informative and enjoy looking at them. A few days ago I took cuttings from the ficus I bought in October and put them in glasses with water. Hopefully this works as well for me as it does for you. I'm going to put them in an old aquarium soon and then cover it with cling film because of the humidity. Have you changed the water in between?

    I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and I hope your ficus cuttings thrive! When propagating ficus cuttings in water, changing the water periodically can be beneficial to maintain a clean and oxygenated environment for the roots. It helps prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and provides the cuttings with fresh nutrients. I recommend changing the water every few days or whenever you notice it becoming cloudy.

    my old method was to leave 2 leaves + the new bud on a cutting if its small and straight into bonsai soil with the stem reaching the bottom of the propagation tray, but my new way is to put it into a plastic cup with water and leave it for several weeks so exactly like in the video.

    Tips: Aquanet makes a great Antitranspirant spray... also the best cloner on the planet is a "Power Cloner" / aka Aeroponic Cloner... Powerful roots in 7 days, with no root hormone required. If you really want some awesome Ficus Bonsai fast, try air layering. You can also pre-shape the cutting while still on the donor plant...

    I just put the cuttings in soil and keep them moist here in So. CA. No root hormone or anything else. Partial sun for a month and then full sun when they start growing. Works just about any time of year if I avoid extremes like too wet and cold or too hot.

    First of all your hair is gorgeous lol. Also, I bought a ficus benjamina variegata yesterday and I wanted to know if I can transplant it now or should I wait til the spring? Also, can the clump be separated into three trees or will that kill them? Kim🇨🇦

  • @notionbonsai

    @notionbonsai

    Thanks! It depends on your climate and growing conditions. It's always best to repot ficus in spring but summer can be OK also! If you have a greenhouse it will recover well after a repot in there if it is well cared for. The only time I'd repot now is if the tree really needed it. If the tree isn't showing any signs of sickness I'd say its better to wait until next spring to be on the safe side. For the clump, it all depends on how much roots are left on each trunk when you pull them apart. If they are fused together I'd say to leave them as they are. If they are fused under the soil level it could be possible to separate them but it is risky and they may not all survive. Also doing that means you have to grow a whole new side of the nebari on each separated tree from where it was separated with no roots. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😀
