Hello!

I had a ficus lyrata cutting sent to me by a friend. It is just a leaf, not a stem cutting. I dipped the end in a rooting hormone and put it in water by a window. Finally after 2 months a tap root appeared! The tap root is growing rapidly, but I just want to know how long I should wait to pot it in soil? The root is about 2.5 inches and growing about a quarter of an inch every day! Do I need special soil or sand? How often do i water a new baby? How small should the pot be? SO many questions!

Thank you for your help!

Molly Thank You!
