Just growing the roots out long first. I haven’t attached anything to a rock yet. (The bougainvillea in the first photo is not in the contest since it’s not in Rosacea or Moracea, although I am planning to ROR it also.)
Home Depot ficus consisting of multiple saplings tied together that I untied, repotted, wired, and grew separately. I just recently repotted and put some of them back together. My intention is to get these to fuse together into one funky pretzel of a tree.
