Lets hear what your little ficus is up to.... An update please
.ynot
oh, it has survived the repotting into the newer plastic pot. also it seemed to stop growing for awhile after the repotting and slicing off a good chunk of the fatty storage root at the bottom. but in the recent few weeks the growth has picked up. leaves are big and fat and it is getting much taller. I'm sure I will need to prune in the future to reduce the size.
overall I am glad that its growth has picked up again and survived the repotting/root pruning.
as for conditions, I just place the ficus infront of a window and leave the window open 24/7 and I water it whenever I remember

Petra,
Glad to hear that your tree is recovering.

Glad to hear that your tree is recovering.
I'm a little confused about this however. Is your window open this time of year or are you by any chance referring to curtains or shades of some sort? It seems rather cold for the former.as for conditions, I just place the ficus infront of a window and leave the window open 24/7

A recovery period is to be expected, You had no problems adjusting to the new soil I take it.oh, it has survived the repotting into the newer plastic pot. also it seemed to stop growing for awhile after the repotting and slicing off a good chunk of the fatty storage root at the bottom.
That is good to hear! It is nice to get feedback on a survival storybut in the recent few weeks the growth has picked up. leaves are big and fat and it is getting much taller. I'm sure I will need to prune in the future to reduce the size.

LOLas for conditions, I just place the ficus in front of a window and leave the window open 24/7 and I water it whenever I remember
Gnome, I assure you petra is kidding w/ this statement.

hi hi. in case anyone was curious, I counted the leaves on my ficus. as of oct '06 it had 27 leaves (originally when I started my rescue in summer '06 only had 2 leaves >_<). as of feb '07 it currently has 39 leaves after a repot and mild root pruning
I will be posting some pictures soon, and updating on the progress of my ficus. I will be asking some more questions about the future of my ficus for the upcoming summer and possibly start some actually pruning and fertilizing. more to come possibly later tonight. along with some questions aswell
