Hi Everyone! In this video I show you some styling techniques for Ficus Bonsai Trees, both in styling the branches through directional pruning and also some root pruning techniques for a better Nebari.

Throughout this video I use techniques like directional pruning, pruning to redirect energy in a Bonsai. I explore pruning techniques aimed at maintaining tree size and knowing when NOT to prune in order to encourage thicker growth on the trunk along with gradually up-potting the tree every year. I also discuss root work, including root pruning to achieve a well-balanced Nebari.

It's worth noting that I personally choose to only air layer the Ficus Ginseng, as it's a preference not to have bulbous roots. However, if you like them by all means train the Bonsai from there!
