I trimmed back pretty hard in some places and made my ficus trees manageable. I already miss their big weeping limbs but it had to be done. I rooted a ton of branchces.
Early this spring, I rooted a broken branch by simply sticking back into the pot. It took without hormones? I was more careful with this bunch and used rooting hormone. I even got crazy and braided three branches together. That was a risk! What if only 2 take root? I will have a dead braid. Oh well, better than tossing them into the trash and worth my time as I so enjoy replanting. If they take, I will be bringing 20 little trees to the Plant Swap and giving away others. I don't have pictures to show because for some reason , my phone refuses to upload all of the sudden.
