# Traded this plant last year for an Obliqua cutting. Thing is out of…

_Posted by Mr Variegated on 2026-02-04_

Traded this plant last year for an Obliqua cutting. Thing is out of control. Grows like crazy. Already removed over 10 leaves. Was about 3 ft when I got it. It’s almost 7 ft now.

This is one of them. The other one isn’t photo worthy… lol I’m going to chop it up in the spring and prop.

Bought one in memory of my mother a handful of months ago. It’s lovely and I love watching it grow \<3

This was my dads Weeping Fig. It’s about 20 yrs old. I’ve taken dozens of cuttings pic 2 (it’s being watered) and given them away. I’m not religious or spiritual, but it feels like I’m giving part of my dad away, in a good way.
