A single ficus leaf can grow roots interestingly enough, but I’ve been told they’ll never grow a new stem without a part of the old stem

I’m always one that says “I’m gonna try it anyway!” But you would need a large deep bowl or dish and styrofoam. Kinda like how you would propagate a ZZ. It’s always worth a shot. Cuz dang for me. I’m the weird one and have had some crazy things happen and people are like “ No freaking way!” I’m like “Yep way!” Prayer baby! If God Almighty can bring water outta a rock and manna from heaven I believe he can do anything. I’ve seen his miracles in my own life. A leaf can turn into a gorgeous 🪴!

Yeah that’s kinna how I am… I figure like what’s the harm in trying! If it doesn’t work well then at least I know it won’t work 🤭🤣

You gotta try it and let me know how it goes! I’m totally invested in this now. 🙌🏼
