My Fiddle-leaf/Ficus lyrata, I don’t know the difference.. It’s been like that for 3 years!! No extra leafs on stem, just this looong space between the top and the bottom. Any tips on how to break its stagnate state? I thought about doing a cutting..👀

Cut the top off and prop. New plant plus the mom will thrive!

OMG, thank you for the tip! It never even crossed my mind that I could propagate this—I was just going to cut it off and throw the rest away. I should cut close to the bottom node, right?

Chopped it off today! Top is in propagation mode now.  
Yes, the planter needs repairs 😆.. looking forward for warmer days!
