How does ginseng fig become aerial root fig?

Wrapping

This is a relatively simple method. Wrap the entire ginseng fig plant with a film, so that the plant can form a fixed humidity level. Then spray the trunk of the plant with water every day to keep it moist. After a period of time, very beautiful aerial roots will grow. There is no need to prune the ginseng fig before deciding to turn it into an aerial root fig. The more leaves grow, the greater the probability of it turning into an aerial root fig. This is also one of the tips. Even if the leaves grow too dense and messy, don't worry. You can wait until the roots are fully grown and take shape before pruning them.

Adjoining method

Select a small ginseng fig with a relatively well-developed root system and graft it onto the branches of a larger ginseng fig. Once the small fig tree can grow normally, you can then carry out overall pruning and shaping. This is also a commonly used method to transform ginseng fig into aerial root fig.

Cutting method

Select the side branch to be rooted, make a cut near the trunk, make the cut as deep as possible, then gently break it off, cover the cut with soil, and after a period of time, many side roots will grow from the cut. At this time, you can help the side roots to grow downwards.

Wire winding method

Select the branches where you want to grow aerial roots, tie them up with wire to force the sap to stop flowing, then stick some wet moss on the wound caused by the tying. After a while, small sprouts will grow from under the moss. Now guide the growth of the small sprouts and let them become aerial roots.
