How to develop aerial roots on Bonsai Ficus plants

 Rainy Season. Our Bonsais are happy to receive rain. because rainwater is the purest form of water when it falls on our plants directly. It's the Best season for the development of aerial roots on our Ficus plants. Lots of humidity is there in the air which helps the plant to produce more aerial roots. Long straight roots hanging from the Ficus plant add more age to our Bonsai. Aerial roots can be grown straight with a straw. It is a simple and very useful technique. To develop more and more aerial roots on your Bonsai, place your plant on a pebble tray filled with water during this monsoon season.

when they started developing...
Ficus develop aerial roots during the Monsoon season. When aerial roots are developing if you place a straw They grow straight deep into the soil. that gives a grownup look to our Bonsai. Straw being transparent we can see the growth of the root. once the straw is placed don't move or disturb the straw because the aerial roots are very fragile. Sometimes for top branch aerial roots, one straw is not enough. then we can use two straws putting one straw into another.
