Even the inexpensive digitals are great these days. I have a nikon to carry around in my pocket. It takes great pictures and I think it was less than $100.

Hey,
Really cool project you got here. And a lot of energy to go with it :)

It's so nice to see someone doing so well with the air-layering technique on almost anything he touches.

You should post a full collection gallery or something. I kinda lost track of all your mischief.

Good luck!

Thank you for the idea WannaBonsai. I wouldnt say everything i touch has worked, I airlayered a ficus that died in it's pot :(, and two airlayers didn't root. But you can allways learn from your mistakes. I think i went too deep into the heartwood with them.

So i was playing around with my new camera and decided to take some pregression updates of my air layers :lol: . Firstly the two ficus air layers.. The first one has done really well and is in fact my favorite possession; the tree has flourished in it's pot and I recently began shaping it with wire. The second ficus died in its pot sadly.. it grow massive fat feeder roots (or whatever you call them) and didn't grow any foliage. :sick: hahaha

Here is the ficus progression (the first pic is when I potted it) -> :silly:

The last pic is of the trunk.. I put a wire around the base so that the trunk will thicken up and hopefully grow surface roots.. Can someone tell me if this is the right thing to do with ficus, or if its gona be bad for the plant, from what i understand it should help thicken the trunk.
