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.

Excellent coffee scale!
Love this scale! The display is pleasing, high-contrast and very clear. It has a silicone cover, and there are zero gaps around the screen and buttons, so it's easily cleaned and I don't worry about damaging the internals with water or crumbs.
There is a tiny bit of float, typically less than a gram, and only occasionally. For example, I'll weigh out 19.3g of beans, seal the bag, and come back to 18.9g. It's minor enough and infrequent enough that it doesn't concern me at all.
The readout is quick and responsive, and I love the timer. At first it seems a little confusing to switch between counting up and counting down, but after doing it once I have no trouble with it even half-asleep. Just hold the units button, press it again to change between modes, and use power & tare to set minutes and seconds if counting down (use play/pause to confirm each setting). Takes less than 10 seconds.
Overall it's quick, accurate, and well-made. I love that it has a much smaller footprint than my old kitchen scale, and looks sleek on the counter. Perfect addition to my coffee station! I also highly recommend their gooseneck kettle if you're in the market ☕

Wobby? Fixable!
Color: Onyx Black, Color: Onyx Black
After a year and half of excellent performance, the platter became more and more wobbly but the readings were consistent. Finally, it was too wobbly and the readings were erratic. There was no obvious way to try to fix it and I couldn't find any help online. I wrote to Greater Goods customer service. While I was awaiting a reply I could barely see that there was a screw inside that appeared to connect to the back right behind the paper label. I pressed on the label, and it broke through to reveal...two screws! I tightened them both and my scale is back in action just like new! It's ready for years of upcoming service. If your unit starts to wobble, it's almost certainly fixable this way. Oh, and Urmila from customer service just reached out and I gave them the good news.

works great
Size: EK6002
i've had it for a couple of weeks now, and i will say, it works well.
calibration isn't in the instructions, but, if you hit and hold all 4 buttons when you turn it on, after it says hello, it will enter cal mode. pressing unit advances to the next screen, which is the auto shut off time. if you turn off the power, or use all 4 buttons to reset it, it does not seem to save, so you will have to purchase calibration weights in order to change it. after setting the auto shutoff, it then lists the 3000 g, which is the max weight. it seems you can change it, but i haven't tried. the next shows random numbers, seemingly the raw value of the scale sensor, then it goes through asking for a 500g calibration weight, and after that, a 2000g calibration weight. the 1000g weight doesn't seem to be necessary.
after calibration, the scale seems to do pretty well with the calibration weights. weighing in the center and in the corners seem to be repeatable, although it may be a little off at the very edges or corners.
the mat that goes on top of the scale has a hangover on the left side, which helps keep it in place, but it can slide up and down.
using the scale to measure liquid, it seems to refresh quick enough to easily allow you to gauge when to stop, although, it may depend on how quickly you pour.
one thing to note, the precision mentioned in the description. this scale is accurate to 0.1g from 0-500g, 0.5g from 501-1000g, and 1g from 1001-3000g. this isn't over the weight range of the scale exactly, but rather over the displayed weight. meaning, if you decided to weigh pour over or something, in something heavy (or a collection of things), if you tare out the weight (zero it out to measure the difference), it will still display the first 500g up to 0.1g accuracy. that makes the 3000g limit of the scale much more useful.
lastly, this is a rebranded scale...many make the same scale under a different brand. i can't remember which combination of buttons it was, but if you held 2 buttons at the same time, it would bring up a muted speaker (no sound) icon, even though this scale doesn't have sound to begin with.
i'm very happy with this scale. the price was good, and realizing that the 0.1g accuracy works up to 500g after taring is great. i used it to measure the water and ice in my 64 oz yeti, to figure out how much water i was actually drinking (got very close to the limit of 3000g).

Good scale to use while making pour over coffee and other things
Size: EK6002
So there is one problem that I have found with this unit so far, but only one, it lags in accuracy slightly. I have used the Timemore black mirror for over a year now and I find this scale to be much nicer in everyway with the one exception. It doesn't instantly measure your pour, it needs a second or less after you stop pouring to give an accurate measurement. It's usually about a gram lag and I have gotten used to dealing with it however you should upgrade your sensor to give a faster reading.
Now in every other way I prefer this scale to the Timemore which is almost 3 times the price of this scale. This scale is longer with a larger area to work on making it much more comfortable to do a pour over, also this scale has a solid flat surface where the controls are meaning you will not get water into the controls. I have had it happen more than a few times with the Timemore where if some water falls on the area of the timer or tare switch they stop working temporarily. While making a pour over it is a significant problem when that happens, I don't think I will ever have that problem with this unit because there is no area for the water to penetrate.
I do wish the controls gave a beep when you activated and if they made the sensor respond more quickly those would be some nice improvements. However in all for the price of this little scale you can't go wrong, I have no idea how long it will hold up as I have used it for about a month. However if it continues on as it has I see it performing well for a long while, thanks for the great scale and even better price.

Excellent scale in all ways.
Size: EK6002
I’ve used this identical scale for four years, though with a different brand name on it, still identical, made in China with a friendly “Hello” on the splash screen when you turn it on. After approximately 1,000 uses in four years, it suddenly died one day, lost its mind and became obviously useless. When that happened there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to replace it with exactly the same scale because I liked the old one so much. The controls are logically laid out, the display is bright, it automatically turns itself off after a few minutes if you forget about it. I’ve tested it with standard weights and it’s precisely accurate. It’s correctly sized for its task (a coffee scale), it’s slim, light, has a removable, washable rubber mat that covers the weighing platform, and is altogether a winner in design and utility, and there’s no reason to change anything about it. When this one fails, I’ll be happy enough to buy another. It costs twenty bucks . . .
