Thanks Mike. After doing some more research, I've decided going with Bodhi (ficus religiosa). I bought some seeds from ebay. Probably not the best place to get them, nor is it all that bright to try to grow from a seed the first time, but oh well. That's what makes life interesting. That said. Does anyone have any advice or know of any websites for growing this tree from a seed? I've have searched for hours and have not been able to find anything usable on the net. Any knowledge that anyone could pass on to me would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You are going to have some fun. you need a container with a clear top and you need a florescent light, use a good soil something like a Michigan peat, or a rich soil do not put holes in the container for drainage keep the top on the container at all times, you want to layer the soil put down some soil, get it really wet, then add soil on top of it, this soil you want damp, put your seeds on top of the soil do not put under the soil only on top cover the container with a clear lid and put the light over it about 2 or 3 inches from the top, what you want to make it a small rain forest if water forums to the in side top of the lid you did something right, do not open it give it about one month to two months for seeds to start growing, do not re-pot until they have about 4 leaves on the small plant, they will start out looking like small weeds then grow into ficus. i will put up a photo of some of mine for you to see.
