The roots of some ficus microcarpa are thin, which don't look beautiful. How to make the roots of ficus microcarpa thicker? It takes a lot of time for plants to grow roots, and it is impossible to get results at once. There are three common methods. One is to increase the fertility, and then change to bigger pot at the right time. If it is still not effective, cut off the trunk directly, and let the roots grow and sprout again.

1. Increase fertility

If you want the ficus microcarpa to grow better, naturally, fertilizer is indispensable. During the growth period of the ficus microcarpa, you must apply fertilizer reasonably. The fertilizer is mainly nitrogen phosphorus potassium compound fertilizer, and the nitrogen content cannot be too high to avoid excessive branches and leaves without roots. With sufficient fertility, the root system of ficus microcarpa will grow faster.

2. Change pot regularly

The space of the flowerpot is limited, and the root system of the ficus microcarpa will grow according to the size of the flowerpot. If the flowerpot is too small, the root system of the ficus microcarpa will basically not grow after filling it. Therefore, a larger pot is needed to promote the growth of the root system of ficus microcarpa trees. When changing pots, it is better to prune the dead roots, rotten roots and dense roots, and then replace them with fertile and loose pot soil.

3. Trunk truncation

If the methods of increasing fertility and changing pots are not effective, how to make the roots of banyan tree thicker? Try cutting off the trunk, but it will completely destroy the plant, leaving only the root system. If you want to thicken the root system, you can cut off the trunk continuously, and then cut off again after the root sprouts. The number of times depends on your needs. In addition, let the root system of the ficus microcarpa tree expose to the outside by constantly lifting roots, which will make it more stylish.
