Hi.
just new here.
i got this ficus i grew in a typical cascade pot. but i got bored in the result. then i decided to change the style to root over rock...penjing style...

in the pot

the new concept on the rock

Imagen

how about this for rock stability

Imagen

and this-rock more than 8 kilograms with minimal adhesive...see next picture

Imagen

rock stable.(adhesive sets in just 5 minutes), ficus trimmed and roots all okey, all is set now. the fun part begins...

Imagen

oh, roots fits well!. i guess its perfect.

Imagen

almost done... background is muddy sorry.... let me add some more dirt...its just a background anyway.

detail on the base.

after the photo session the whole rock and roots with moss will be wrapped together with clear plastic to avoid dehydration ot the tree and drying up of hair roots. much of the lower portion of the rock will be under the soil.

all sealed now. the roots and rock will stay this way for quite a long time now.

thank you, this has been a fun project. will give you updates from time to time on this.

regards,
jun

Amazing work! What kind of adhesive did you used for the rock? What type of rock did you used? We appreciate that you took your time to share the photo sequence with us, we truly appreciate it and truly hope that the penjing develop successfully!! :D
