Propagate Ficus from Cuttings for Bonsai 🌱 *EASY*

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!
