people say that benjamins are common, they say "so what", they say "its ugly plant", but i love them. they are extremely resillent, they can handle torturous environments aaaand they root easily. also they are emotional plants. they didnt like their sun ? they respond immediately with leaf droppings, they didnt like the wind, or their spot, or this or that, they respond immediately. So you know instantly and take precaution. I like benjamins. i like everything about them. you have subscriber and liker !
@@BonsaiBoise exactly, you can do so much with them. the entire ficus species. and they can survive anything, except below 10 degrees, but thats not the point :D
Interesting journey to watch 🙂. My amateur thinking about the rot is that it might partly be due to the twisting of trunks that weakened that part. I think it always better to "bundle" and not "twist" and looks more natural too.
8:00 no. stopping to mess with that fungus/bligth is not wise at all, you should carve the infected tissue, then cure it with antifungi medication, immediately. i use feet fungi medicine, but you need to make sure you carve all the infected tissue.
@@vanish_dla_kovrov The long answer is ghat It depends. How deep is the pot, is it inside or outside, type of plant, all play key factors. The simple answer is, less often. Organic soil holds moisture more than bonsai soil so you can water them less often.
Tell me, please, what is the name of the paste that you use to cover up cuts and wounds in trees? If you can find a link where you bought one.🙏 I use Japanese pasta, which is like plasticine, but not everywhere and it is not always convenient to use it... If you don't mind, tell us the pros and cons of the "liquid" paste. 🙏Thank you.❤
I just added the Amazon link to the cut paste. So far it's the only one I've ever tried. Before this I was using regular old, non-toxic clear glue. And to be honest, they both work about the same really. The cut paste might be a little better though because it doesn't drip as much.
