# I’m struggling so much to get my ficus moclame to look as it once…

_Posted by Holly on 2024-10-30_

I’m struggling so much to get my ficus moclame to look as it once did. Why has it split into two main branches and how can I get it to look full again?

I will do anything to get it back to looking healthy again!

I would look into pruning method’s online :) this can help encourage growth and help the plant become more bushy

Also looks like it has changed locations and from what I understand about ficus is that they are very temperamental about even a slight environmental shift. So maybe replicating the conditions it was in before would help too?

A grow light if it’s in the corner like that and agree with them on the change of place… they like to sit still
