Even as a beginner, you can succeed in cutting this plant with this method. In this article, we will explain step by step how to cut a Thai ficus with 502 glue to create beautiful flowery miniature bonsai.

Materials required:

  • Healthy Thai Ficus
  • Glue 502
  • Clean gardening scissors
  • Special soil cutting
  • Small pot with drainage holes
  • Water spray

Steps for cutting a Thai ficus with 502 glue:

Step 1: Choose a healthy, young branch of Thai ficus to do the cutting. Make sure the branch does not suffer from disease or damage.

Step 2: Take your own garden scissors and cut the chosen branch at an angle of 45 degrees. The cutting should be about 10 cm long.

Step 3: Apply 502 glue on the basis of the freshly cut cutting. Be sure to cover evenly the cut area with glue.

Step 4: Leave the glue dry for about 24 hours. The glue will act as a healing agent and promote root formation on the cutting.

Step 5: Fill the small pot with special cutting soil. Lightly moisten the soil with a water spray.

Step 6: Make a small hole in the soil using your finger and gently insert the Thai ficus cutting treated with 502 glue into the hole.

Step 7: Lightly strain the soil around the cutting to ensure good contact between the cutting and the soil.

Step 8: Place the pot in a bright place but in direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist but not wet by spraying water regularly.

Step 9: After a few weeks, you will see roots forming on the cutting. Once the roots are sufficiently developed, you can transplant the cutting into a larger pot with a suitable mixture of soil.

Practical advice:

  • Avoid handling the cutting unnecessarily during the cutting process.
  • Make sure to maintain constant moisture around the cutting to promote root development.
  • Monitor the health of the cutting regularly and remove any signs of rot if necessary.
