Thanks! It’s a north facing window I guess! #### Autumn님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. cool, thx! ### Gena님이 2025-01-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. Chop and prop! #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. That just seems so brutal. 🥹 #### Gena님이 2025-01-20에 답변했습니다. It does but I would only take off the top section that’s getting too tall and then you have a baby one too! ### Mr Variegated님이 2025-01-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. Just cut to the height you want. Then take the cuttings and take the bottom 2 leaves off and stick it in water. #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. Thanks for your comment. #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-21에 답변했습니다. Does it matter what season it is? Should I wait until Spring? #### Mr Variegated님이 2025-01-21에 답변했습니다. Me, I chop anytime. But most will wait till beginning of March, even the end, when the growing season starts. If I’m going to root the cuttings, I’ll do it now so it’s rooted by spring. But that’s my opinion. Everyone does what works for them. Depending where you live and climate too. I’m in Toronto Canada where nothing should be done in the winter. It’s cold and dry. ### Max Grzelak님이 2025-01-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. Look up happyhappyhouseplant on Instagram. Tons of videos, guides and advice for trimming fiddle leaf figs #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. Will do! ### ky님이 2025-01-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. Gorgeous 🤩 ### Deb님이 2025-01-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. Last summer I chopped my 6 foot FLF in half. I took about a 2 foot piece from the top and put it in water in front of a south facing window. All of the leaves turned brown and dropped off but eventually it started growing roots and small leaves appeared. Be patient. The roots took over 3 months to grow. I just kept changing the water. Now it looks like this. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/hLu6O83gnxdA3O760H5NVu_53xg8EbBsclrOU1RnnZM/VO0L_jxfSHOM83ZczlRBuA.webp?size=large) #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. Wonderful! ### Jess님이 2025-01-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hiii!! I follow houseplusplant on IG and she has amazing advice on how to prop. What she does is cut where you desire, remove the lower leaves, then stick the cutting in a clear plastic grow pot filled with perlite. Then set in a shallow dish of water for self watering and watch as the cutting grows roots and new leaves! #### Valhalla님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다.
