HI Guys

I love PJ Figs & the arial roots that they shoot out so here is a little tip i use to help them reach the ground before the sun fries them.
If you have nice heatly arial root and you want to move it, drill a hole where you would like it to go & then feed the root through & in time it will graft into position.

By the way i remove the straws once the root has hit the soil using a sharp craft knife.

Cheers
Chris

good work skip

i have seen the straws used before but not thread graft of an airial root, its so obvious isnt it dunno why i didnt think of it, it allows to position the root exactly where ya want it.

Same as Jamie!

Cool. I'm going to do that to one of my Ficus macrophylla, Moreton bay figs. So simple. Why didnt i think of it?
