For starters, they don't have a real trunk, nor a real nebari.

MOSTLY, a Ficus Ginseng is not a bonsai, and not even suitable for bonsai. Some people however manage to make the most of it.

Ha... Thanks man, you never disappoint, steady as a rock on your believes! I´m cracking a laugh in here with that twist :woohoo:

That said, thank you so much for noticing the improvement of this tree. Certainly it does not look so bad as it used to look 4 and a half years ago. I´ll keep this thread updated every once in a while.

It will take some more years, but I have hope.

Ha, thank you Clicio... Still, why don´t you cheer up and let us see that Ficus of yours? :whistle: Look at it from the bright side... If you do, then you´ll have records of its progression and here people would speak their minds about it.
