Or how to knit the trunk into a ficus
We’ve all seen the beautiful fairies in the flower shops or in a spacious office. Impressions always make their size, pleasant colors and braided in shallow stems. How can we do this at home?
The easiest to knit are the fiches for example give the bang-jelly, whose stems are flexible enough for such a operation. For this you need three specimens, which you can grow alone in a pot, but one must. Plant them close together so it’s easy to knit afterwards.
In order not to wait for the ficus to grow, you can buy a ready-made copy. Especially, the bangmaster is almost always sold in a pot with at least some balls.
The first thing you have to do is remove all the small twigs from the stems – as high as you want to knit the braid. It is important to keep only the stems, without any protruding twigs, so as not to interfere with you during the shaping of the braid.
If there are more than 3 copies in the pot, cut the excess. Leave only the strongest three. They should not be thicker than 1-1.5 cm in diameter because they are difficult to process. Prior to the knitting itself, it is good to plant the plants so that the soil is moist and flexible, not dry and rotting.
Now you can start by knitting a plain braid. Try to tighten as much as possible without hurting the plant to get a good braid. When you reach the branches of the plant, you must tighten with a yarn or wire so that the bands of the bands can have their new shape. After a few months, remove the tightening.

Such an amazing tree and an interesting process! I have seen olive trees that were braided this way.
We can do many creations with ficus because it’s a strong plant, easy to plant, quite flexible, and have good roots.
They will become big and beautiful trees
As long as it is in the pot, it will be limited to enlargement. I have some ficus bonsai of various kinds, my friend.
I’ll wait for a picture to see how it happened.
Very powerful and very old tree. Ideal for making a house in a bowl.
They are very beautiful live. It’s like talking to you.
I think it would be nice to have a training about this. More trees will be planted after having such activity. I like the photo of this tree. It is like having fairies hiding here.
Maybe they really hide fairies. I had to wait for the night to see that they would not go out.
I hope you can see them. It would be a great experience. c”,)
Thank you for sharing this post about the trees.
Trees are my weakness. I love them and I have a lot of pictures with them.
Nice to know you admire trees a lot.
A great reminder for all that we should plant more trees. This one is massive.
There must be a lot. They are the lungs of nature.
