Hi everyone,
I just inherited a Ficus Lyrata from a friend who was moving and I think it needs to be cut back -- but I'm not very familiar with how ficus lyrata branches or where the nodes are. The bend in the main stem is so severe that ideally I would want to cut it all the way down where it starts, and then possibly root the top portion to be a separate plant altogether -- would that actually work?

Attaching pictures and my cutline ideas in red. Would appreciate your guidance.

Thanks!
