Hello! I have an issue with most of my plants at home - they tend to grow very tall and remain one strong single stem. I don't have much space in my room, so that is good on one hand. But even if I want to have a bushier plants, It is mostly various types of ficus I am talking about. I have a fiddle leaf, a couple of bambino fiddle leaf, a Bengali ficus, a Melani, and several rubber plants, all growing up and fast - up to 8-9 feet tall. When I cut the top off of a bambino fiddle leaf when I wanted to push it to develop side branches, it just shoot out the same one strong stem from the uppermost bud, and now looks exactly the same. The lihjting in my room is good, which is probably one of the reasons they grow fast and steady during the most active growing period. But I want to experiment more with them and make them something other than a ceiling-high stick with nice leaves all over. I now have a forrest of such sticks in my appartment, but would like to know if I can do something about it, or this apical dominance is really hard to deal with. Thank you very much in advance for any advice or a word of solace!
