How To Grow Bonsai Ficus Religiosa Plant
Growing a bonsai tree from a Ficus religiosa, also known as the sacred fig or bodhi tree, requires patience, attention to detail, and proper care.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to grow a bonsai tree from a Ficus religiosa plant:
Acquire a young Ficus religiosa plant:
- Obtain a young Ficus religiosa plant either from a nursery or by germinating the seeds.
- The seeds can be found online or potentially from a local gardening store.
Select a suitable pot:
- Choose a shallow bonsai pot with drainage holes to ensure proper water drainage.
- Usually made of clay or ceramic, bonsai pots.
Prepare the potting mix:
- Create a well-draining soil mixture suitable for bonsai.
- A common mix includes a combination of akadama, pumice, and lava rock.
- You can find pre-made bonsai soil mixes at gardening stores.
Prune the roots and plant the Ficus religiosa:
- Gently remove the plant from its original container, and prune the roots by carefully cutting away about one-third of the root mass.
- This pruning encourages the growth of fine feeder roots.
- Place the tree in the prepared bonsai pot, spreading the roots out evenly.
- Fill the pot with the bonsai soil mix, ensuring that it covers the roots and gently firm it down.
Shape the trunk and branches:
- Begin shaping your bonsai tree by wiring the trunk and primary branches.
- Use bonsai wire to carefully wrap around the branches, bending them into the desired shape.
- Be cautious not to wrap the wire too tightly to avoid damaging the tree.
- Leave the wire on for a few months or until the branches are set in place.
Watering and humidity:
- Ficus religiosa prefers a consistent watering routine.
- Thoroughly water the bonsai, making sure the soil is evenly moist but not soggy.
- Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly before the next watering.
- Mist the leaves regularly to increase humidity, as Ficus species generally appreciate higher humidity levels.
Light and temperature:
- Place the bonsai tree in a location that receives bright, indirect light.
- Ficus religiosa thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
- Keep it away from sharp temperature changes and chilly draughts.
Fertilization:
- Feed your Ficus religiosa bonsai during the growing season, typically from spring to fall.
- Use a balanced, water-soluble bonsai fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.
- Apply the fertilizer as directed on the packaging every two to four weeks.
Pruning and maintenance:
- Regularly prune the bonsai to maintain its shape and promote branching.
- Trim back new growth to maintain the desired silhouette.
- Ficus religiosa has a vigorous growth habit, so frequent pruning will be necessary to refine the tree's appearance.
Repotting:
- Repot the bonsai tree every two to three years to refresh the soil and encourage root health.
- Repotting is best done in spring before the growing season begins.
- Prune the roots and replant them in a slightly larger bonsai pot, using fresh bonsai soil.
Remember, growing a bonsai tree is a long-term project that requires ongoing care, patience, and attention. Regularly observe your Ficus religiosa bonsai for signs of pests, diseases, or other issues and address them promptly. With time and proper care, you can enjoy the beauty and serenity of your bonsai tree.

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters.
"Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus.
"Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson.
Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping.
Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor."
Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak.
Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.
