Hi Jason, do you keep it in a greenhouse to get those aerial roots?

 

[jason biggs]

I'm surprised at the aerial roots you've been getting, do you live on the east coast or do you have a misting setup to keep the humidity up?

hi Eugene i live in the lowveld and i don't use any type of mister... this is the only tree that threw these nice banyan type aerial roots.

I find Natalensis the easiest ficus I own to develop aerial roots. To be honest. I don't need them for my design. I'm constantly removing them. I'm a northerner ... so on the bench and then inside under grow lights. I use a cart...not a tent. I don't focus on high humidity either.
