Is there any way, other than moisture and time, to force/ push aerial root growth on woody Ficus sp.? In this case I'm using F. pertusa. I was kind of thinking about notching the bark and adding a rooting hormone. Thoughts?

so...of course my curiousity got the better of me...why this "strangler fig"? I tried to capture a neat picture of it engulfing a fence and a neighboring tree...but couldn't...

Lol, It's actually going in my azureiventris tank

Thanks, everybody for the advice. I do want to get root growth in certain areas. I was lucky enough to score some big pieces of "floater" pumice at the Tucson gem and mineral show. I plan to make a rock pile with ficus rooted over it.
