Do you mean like to get a bustier plant?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2024-11-10

Thank you autocorrect... bushier

### Zoey commented on 2024-11-10

Yes I only have like I stick that goes up

You can lop the top off above a node. that will encourage that top reremaining node to ideally pop out a few branches

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2024-11-10

You can also wound the tree near a node. And apply a propagation helper like, Prop Drops or keiki cloning paste. The paste isn't required, but it does help.

+1 for Keiki paste. Apply it to the stem near the nodes. It takes a WHILE to activate and you may need multiple applications, but it does work for ficus plants.
