My fiddle fig is really sparse around the middle of his branch. Is there a way to air propogate this? In one of those little balls/Saran wrap filled with sphagnum moss so that it takes root and I can plant it again or something? Or is there a way to get him to grow new leaves in that area somehow? I really don't wanna cut him 😔
There are some great YouTube videos on notching flf’s! I think that would be your best bet if you don’t want to chop it. It can help fill in sparser leaves but it takes a while and doesn’t always work
2 J'aime Notching? Okay I'll look into that! Thank you!
0 J'aime Yeah! The actual notching is the same no matter the type of ficus
0 J'aime The Audrey and flf are the same species so their care is pretty similar
0 J'aimeThat looks more like a ficus Audrey than a fiddle leaf fig- in case the care requirements are different!
4 J'aime Okay I didn't really know there's a difference haha. Ones fuzzy the other one is smooth, that's about what I figured. Thank you!

I agree, lookin less like fiddle leaf. You could air layer to get a 2nd plant. Or like Kades said, wound it and apply keiki paste to encourage new leaf growth to fill it out.
