Physical Characteristics

Sacred Fig Plug Seedlings are evergreen large trees, growing up to 15–25 meters in height. Their branches are thick and spread out. When mature, the tree has a broad crown and presents a majestic broad-egg-shaped or umbrella-shaped form. The leaves are highly distinctive, with opposite heart-shaped or broad-egg-shaped leaf surfaces that are dark green and glossy. The reticulate veins are prominent. The tips of the leaves contract to form long, slender tail-like extensions that can reach up to 2–5 centimeters in length. As the tree ages, the thick branches tend to droop and develop aerial roots that penetrate the soil and thicken to form supporting roots, often attracting birds for food.

Planting area

When using bare-root Bo Tree Seedlings, one must have a forward-thinking approach to cultivate miniature literati tree bonsai with a wild and Zen-like charm. Plant them in temple courtyards and entrance halls, or decorate meditation centers and contemplation gardens. If they are young seedlings, they are more suitable for use as potted plants in the Buddha hall or tea room, paired with incense burners and Buddha shrines, providing shade for the patio and inner courtyard, and are excellent main scenery trees in Chinese and Japanese gardens.

FAQ

How long does the seedling stage take for the characteristic aerial roots to grow?

During the seedling stage, relatively few thick aerial roots are formed. They usually start to grow in abundance on the branches when the tree is over 5 years old, with a trunk diameter of more than 15 cm, and in a humid and warm environment.

What are the characteristics of root development? What is the transplant survival rate?

It is a deep-rooted tree species. The main root of the seedling is obvious. The lateral roots and root hairs will develop rapidly after the main root is cut and placed in artificial substrates. The transplant survival rate is extremely high. After planting, it is necessary to pour sufficient rooting water and set up supports to prevent wind damage to the roots.

How to perform trunking and pruning?

During the seedling stage, gradually prune the lower lateral branches. Raise the branching point to above 2.5 meters - 3.5 meters. The germination ability is very strong. After pruning, a large number of adventitious buds will sprout near the cutting site. They need to be promptly removed, and only the dominant branches should be retained.

Daily Maintenance

1、Peepal trees Liners for Growing On prefer an environment with full sunlight, a growing temperature of 20°C-30°C, high temperature and high humidity. They should be placed in full sunlight or bright diffused light for daily growth.

2. During the growth period, the potting soil should be kept moist. It is important to avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

3. During the spring and summer growth season, a thin, well-decomposed organic liquid fertilizer or a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be applied once a month. After autumn, fertilization should be gradually stopped.

4. During the seedling stage, the plant has strong growth ability and is resistant to pruning. Diseased and weak branches, as well as crossed branches, should be pruned. Due to its large leaves, appropriately prune the dense branches and leaves to maintain good air circulation and light penetration in the tree crown.

5. The common disease is leaf spot disease. Good ventilation should be maintained. If occasional scale insects and red spiders occur, they can be wiped off with a soft cloth or sprayed with the corresponding insecticide. The maintenance is simple.
