just chopped \& propped my fiddle leaf fig! 🫣 i cut off her top and put it in water for the first time, because i have a hard time throwing alive foliage out lol. her other half (a stem and a single leaf) are still in the soil. every other year or so she gets this crazy haircut and comes back stronger than ever, but it's really hard to trust the process. i'm excited to see if the leafy half will root in water! wish me luck!
