Hello my plant peeps. I’m needing to chop & prop my beloved Fiddle Leaf fig. When chopping & propping Fiddy, should I let the cut end callous over before putting it in water? Or put it water right away? Or put it right in dirt (what kind? Dry? Moist?) Thank you!!!
callus! i’d put in water and let roots grow a couple of inches. fertilize ever so often. (you can also do more than one prop and try another way if others suggest) good luck! share updates
0件のいいねdefinitely let it callus first so it doesn't rot while you try to propagate it! A couple options you could try would be classic water propagation, or if thats not working you could plant it in perlite / fluval stratum and water. Some plants like that better. Depending on how much time you have, you could also give air layering a shot, but it takes a while and you wouldnt be able to cut the stem right away.

& the bottom half, who will be known as OG Fiddy. I’m so happy this decision is paying off..I questioned it for a couple months! 😂
