My sacred Bodhi tree
    #21709027 - 05/22/15 02:54 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I'm proud to present my young Ficus religiosa. This plant is special to me because I grew it from seed back in 2012.



It's been grown in bonsai pots and kept pruned back over the years. I was excited to see it come back this year after taking the risk of chopping it in half.



Young nebari.



Here's the top cut rooting in straight water.



I apologize for the poorly lit nighttime photos. I do most of my gardening at night this time of year. Here's a little bit of info about this plant-

The Bodhi Tree was a large and very old sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa) located in Bodh Gaya, India, under which Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher later known as Gautama Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment, or Bodhi. In religious iconography, the Bodhi tree is recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves, which are usually prominently displayed. Bodhi trees are planted in close proximity to every Buddhist monastery.
The term "Bodhi Tree" is also widely applied to currently existing trees, particularly the Sacred Fig growing at the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, which is a direct descendant planted in 288 BC from the original specimen. This tree is a frequent destination for pilgrims, being the most important of the four main Buddhist pilgrimage sites. Other holy Bodhi trees which have a great significance in the history of Buddhism are the Anandabodhi tree in Sravasti and the Bodhi tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Both are believed to have been propagated from the original Bodhi tree.

Yean, i knew that there was one of those in the Buddha's temple
Why don't you put a Buddha's temple crassula near that? XD

Anyhow, Why don't you put that cutting in the ground after it roots?
I mean, you have the bonsai one, then you can have the big one.

I like the way you think. I actually still have the other seedling from that first photo, and it's almost four feet tall in a large pot. I plan on putting it into the ground once it becomes hearty enough to survive the winters outdoors.
I would love to grow a Crassula 'Buddha's Temple' if I could get my hands on the seeds. I'm curious if they would grow true to form when seed grown, or if you need to obtain a cutting. I have a Crassula ovata clone that is now over ten years old. Damn thing never gives up.

Crassula Ovata is kinda resistant compared to Buddha's temple. I have several Ovata exemplars, one of them is a mini tree/giant bonsai and it survives sicily's winter outside with no dent.
Anyhow i dunno about seed grown/cuttings of Crassula Buddha's temple, but i'm sure is a really delicate specimen.
