Hello,

I have spent the past 5ish years attempting without success to grow aerial roots on my ficus retusa bonsai. I have tried everything from wrapping in sphagnum moss, humidifiers, spray bottles, etc.

Over the past winter it grew several long, spindly branches which I intend to cut and scrape the tips, add rooting hormone, and bury under the soil in an attempt the grow roots. My hope is that in time these will root and become thicker.

Does anyone have experience with this situation? Or any advice?

Thanks!
