How to Cultivate the Air Roots of Banyan Trees

The banyan tree with more roots can be directly grafted on the banyan tree and planted in the pot on the banyan tree that needs air root cultivation. When Ficus microcarpa grows on Ficus microcarpa with aerial roots, the flowerpot can be removed to complete the cultivation of aerial roots.

It is necessary to cut a small hole in the long trunk that needs to cultivate air roots, cut it to a wooden place, break it slightly, and then smear mud on this small hole. After a while, some tiny air roots will grow, and then we only need to guide these air roots downward, which can have very good results.

In order to cultivate the aerial roots of banyan, the selection of banyan varieties is also very important. Not every banyan tree is suitable for cultivating aerial roots. We should choose those Ficus species that are easy to grow air roots, such as Ficus gracilis and Ficus alpine.
