@@noopcoup4940 I almost did this too. But none of the these videos show they actually grew a new plant from a single leaf. I mean none of them shows what the 'new plant' looks like after 8 weeks or so. Until I began reading comments and found out about meristematic tissues so...
The leaf will root but it'll never grow a plant (I learnt the hard way). Don't waste your time with this method, take a proper cutting from the stem, cutting about 1-2cm below a node, and chopping off the bit at the top (note: you can make multiple cuttings from one branch).
forgive me, but you seem not to be honest. the leaves (ficus) WITHOUT BUDS will indeed have roots, but will never turn to trees having no poit of grow. it's not viola or zamioculcas! making people believe in your small trick you just steal their time and lead 'em to disappointment. (If it's still somehow possible - here's my immediate and sincere apologies!) People! cut the leaves off with a sharp knive with a piece of bark (and possibly wood) and a leaf bud. you'll have much more chances it'll work.
Sorry to say that leaves will grow roots but will never grow as a plant unless the leaves are attached to a small portion of a branch. I have tried it many times.
Rooted leaves won't put out new stem. It will have roots and can stay alive for years as a leaf and then just die. You will need to get some part of the stem for new shoots to happen
i agree. this video is a bit misleading because it makes it appear like all the plants in the back were grown same way, but all the research ive seen, ficus gene cannot grow from a single leaf..
Ficus CAN NOT grow from a single leaf. There are very few plants that can. Most plant leaves can grow roots but will never actually grow into a full sized plant. They will just be a leaf with roots and then eventually die. To the creator of this video: PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION. Do your research and make sure you know what you’re talking about before trying to teach others.
But the leaf without a node will never produce a new plant! The leaves will just root for their survival, not to reproduce. There is no dormant bud on a ficus leaf.
Beautiful video. I have the same plant it has almost 15 leaves on it it likes it by the east window. I have 2 other rubber plants also getting tall . But the first one that has almost 15 leaves the stem is very thin the other two are thicker. Why is that ?
I love the simplicity of this method! I have done such complicated propagation procedures before and they've taken so much more time. Thank you so much!
@@katec4447 u must keep some stem and 2 nodes to make a plant.. The procedure shown here will never produce a plant... Without a node there will be no new stem of the plant
@@lianganao5229 This is blatant misinformation and everyone here should stop wasting their time with leaf cuttings if they want to propagate a whole plant. There is no way to grow a ficus elastica from leaf cuttings lol. They will root but it will never grow into a plant are known as "zombie leaves". They will eventually die. The only way it MIGHT grow is if a bud happened to be cut with it but even then it might take years to develop, if any. If you want to propagate a plant from cuttings, make sure there are around 3 nodes and you remove the bottom leaves.
Muy buen vídeo, pero hay algún otro donde podamos ver el avance? Donde finalmente se vean los progresos como sale el tallo? Como llega esa hojita a desarrollar su tallo? Mil gracias.
Holaa. Te quiero hacer 2 pregunta ¿Cuuanto se demora una hojita en florecer ?y la otra pregunta ¿El palito del gomero florerece de nuevo y en cuanto tiempo .me gusta tu canal .
@@davidsanders7530 Ficus elastica can't develop a stem from a single leaf. It will root and become a "zombie leaf" and eventually die. You need at least one node but ideally a couple more nodes for insurance if you want to grow a plant.
I have cut the top leaf of a ficus burgundy but i didn't cut the thorn that was going to be the next new leaf. It seems that it stopped growing but the rest leaves seem ok what is happening and can i fix it ?
This should be updated. No single ficus leaf has ever turned into a tree not unless it has atleast one node. It will root but will never grow... Such a waste of time for everyone trying this method.
Вы никогда не сможете вырастить растение с одного листа. Он только даст корни и все, у него нет точки роста и он не сможет вырастить стебель. Вам нужен лист с кусочком стебля и хотя бы одной точкой роста, т. е. с почкой.
@@КарлыгашСыздыкова-т5м , у замиокулькаса корни наподобие картофелины и он может дать побег. У фикуса тонкие корешки, как нитки. Он не даёт корневых побегов. Его корни, просто растут вглубь.
Is that a variegated fig tree or a variegated rubber tree?? The leaves are larger so I’m thinking rubber? This is fantastic!! I’m so going to try this... any special lighting used.
Un arbre ne poussera jamais d'une feuille. Coupez une branche avec 4 à 5 feuilles à l'extrémité ; enfin, faites la tremper dans un verre d'eau, dans une pièce à la chaleur douce. Changez régulièrement l'eau. Il suffira de quelques semaines pour voir apparaître des racines à l'extrémité de la tige. Quand vous jugez que ces racines sont suffisamment nombreuses, vous pouvez replanter la tige dans un substrat léger.🌱🌱🌱🌳
@@austyncox8547 unfortunately that is all you will end up with even if you continue to let them grow in any medium. This is because Ficus cannot propagate from a leaf cutting, they require at least one node to be present from part of the stem in order to actually produce a full plant. This video is extremely misleading and I’m so sorry that they tricked you into thinking it would work.
