Great little tree! Love playing around with ficus cuttings. Question though, did you do anything to get that texture on the trunk in the pic from October, or is that natural? Either way, it's an impressive gnarly lil trunk!

Had boxes of these as a kid and recently learned that they originated in Japan as collectable erasers called Kinkeshi.

Ah, nice, I don't think I've seen a non-pink one.

I have a complete series 1 of Monster in my Pockets - similar type of figure.

Good grief. Either I have way too many pots or I am losing my mind. Maybe both. Glad you have made good use of it.
