thanks, Sooby, good thought. I tried it. The cut sealed over quickly with a latex sap and a soon a new shoot appeared and grew straight up parallel to the "trunk" below. Maybe some creative splinting is in order but I think I'll wait and get my fig ready to go back outside.
By the way, if Elaine is reading this could you please tell me about that beautiful drooping plant you used for your postings. During all my years visiting the jungles of Tobago I saw only one. Is it an orchid?
Thanks all!!
