# Another question… (I’m just trying to get my ducks in order…🙄!) This…

_Geplaatst door Lynda op 2025-02-08_

Another question… (I’m just trying to get my ducks in order…🙄!) This cloning paste is new to me, and I have bare stems on some of my ficus plants. Does anybody know if this product can kill my plants, or cause any harm to them? All info will be much appreciated.… TIA!

No, it's not harmful. Most are simply lanolin to make it stick and a growth hormone, specifically a cytokinins

Should I just try one node at a time or go for it? And how long will it take for some growth to be seen? TIA!

#### Wolfen 🐺 antwoordde op 2025-02-09

I'd probably start with 1-2 nodes. It can take like 2 weeks to a month and a half, to see results. Depending on the type of plant

#### Lynda antwoordde op 2025-02-09

This may be a stupid question, but what will I see when growth starts to happen on the node?

#### Lynda antwoordde op 2025-02-09

Ficus, ficus, ficus…🙄!

#### Wolfen 🐺 antwoordde op 2025-02-09

You'll see a bud forming.

Wolfen… I was just referring to the kinds of plants I want to try this paste on… but Planta has a bug, and wouldn’t let me edit that remark… 😤!

I used this paste on my umbrella tree and several other plants about 6 months ago and they are all still healthy. They also have some lovely new growth! It does remain sticky in the area you place it though.
