How to start bonsai from a sapling || Starting a Ficus Religiosa bonsai || Sacred Fig Peepal bonsai The other day I noticed a Ficus Religiosa Sacred Fig (also know as the Peepal or Ashvatta tree in India) sapling growing in the pot of an Adenium in my mother's garden and I decided to start a bonsai with it. The process is quite simple. I uprooted the plant, wired it up in a "S" shape, pruned the roots and some of the leaves and potted it in a training pot with bonsai soil. I will let it grow for now and get back to it in a few months time. Similarly there is another Ficus Religiosa that I have been training since last year and I decided to work on it a bit too. I removed the previous wiring and rewired the tree to shape it up a bit more. Next I pruned the ends and some of the leaves of the tree. I will let this one grow in the same pot for now and get back to it again next year. —————————————————————————————————————— The urban nemophilist lives in the city but his heart and soul lives in the forest and wherever there is green.
