Thanks!!!! Just the video that I was looking for!!!!!

Thanks for the video! I was checking rooting hormones in Amazon, didn’t know which one to buy, now I know. Thank you for sharing!

I used a rooting hormone with reverse osmosis water in a north facing window and the roots grew like crazy. I’m here to find out when the best time is to plant it in soil.

peace and bountiful blessings (San Antonio) I purchased the plant (Fig) October, I have a couple of leaves….hopeful to increase by 2 additional plants in the very near future. Happy Daylight savings time day! thank you for sharing.

I have mine in an east facing window & it’s done really well.

Just subscribed, thanks for the info.

I had a plant and put it in the garden and it grew into very big tree

I was thinking of cuting down some to see if this will give it a chance. It has 11 sad leafs on it.

Can’t wait to try this (happy to see you used the same rooting powder I happen to have!). For the other part (not the cutting), is there anything I can do to encourage multiple branches to grow?

Thanks alot

I used this rooting hormone too. It has been a week. Nothing looks bad yet?? Hoping she’ll pull through! I love my Trader Joe’s Fiddle Fig.

👍👍👍👍👍

Love the video. What kind of soil do you use once it’s time to place in a pot

I just read your previous comments and you answered my question from your response to@1middie

Thank you for the video. My fig leaf tree cutting has already rooted and I transplanted in soil in a temporary small pot. I have also done this with my standalone fig leaf propagation . They are doing good but I wanted to plant them along side the fig tree themselves but it’s a large growing box. Is it wise to go ahead and plant them in the large box at this time or should I keep them in smaller pots? I’m not sure if they like to be root bound for a stretch of time. Thx

I live in Northeast Ohio and we are getting into shorter days now that it is October. Should I propagate a fiddle leaf fig now or wait until spring with longer daylight. Also, when you change the water in the vase do you use rooting hormone again every time you change the water? Thanks, Mark.

can you tell me or show me the mix you use? The rooting hormone is amazing! I know they need to be in well drained soil. My local nursery told me to use potting soil and I did not think that was right so now I am going to have to repot the little fiddle....

Hi Plant Doc for posting. I’m going to cut mine for propagation. It’s too tall and spindly. You said to cut and dip in rooting powder. My question is the timeline. When you first cut do you let the stem dry out before placing it in soil? Or do you cut and immediately dip in rooting powder into water? I’d think the powder would wash off? Thank you for your help

Plant Doctor, would you advise someone to try this if they don’t notice any milky substance from notched or pulling off fig leaves. In other was has my plant died?

I got a free “busted” fiddle leaf plant from Walmart. (Got an aloe too🤩) The top half was broken and it was over watered. I cut the top half completely off and left the bottom half in dirt. Bottom half is already having new growth and it’s only been a week. The top half. I had to cut all the leaves off because they were severely damaged and had what looked like mites. I have it sitting in a south window with direct to mostly indirect light. I also live in central Texas. I put it in dirt. Should I put it in water? And should I provide more humidity for it? My house usually stays pretty dry around 35 to 50% during the winter.

Hey, good evening. Thanks for very simply effective video. I live in the Caribbean, and I am really having trouble with my fiddle. There is a white spotty stuff on my leaves they look dull. I have tried fungicide, but it's not improving at all. I REALLY need some help with my fiddle

Thanks! Would you add more rooting hormone when you change the water?

Do you reapply the rooting hormone everytime you change the water? Just received a cutting and want it to be successful.

I had a beautiful fiddle leaf it survived a move across Canada then died 3 months later. I want another but not sure if this environment/ water. We also have in floor heating in the winter. Help

my fiddle leaf branch broke off. i did put it in water the original plant where the branch broke off is just a stick with one leaf on it 🙃 should i leave it like that or what do you recommend to do with it?

When you change the water once a week or when water gets a milky look,,, do l dip stem in root tone again each time l change the water?

May I please ask. When changing the water, do you dip it again on the root stimulating hormone?

Hello from the Sunshine State of Florida! Thank you for sharing your video. Recently, I pruned my 10-foot Fiddle Tree in my front yard for the first time. I have propagated my Fiddle Leaf Fig into a large mason jar, which has been sitting on my patio table for the past three weeks in shaded areas with plenty of light. I have been checking it every week and giving it fresh water as well. It still has a healthy branch and four beautiful leaves. However, I have noticed that no roots have grown yet. Instead, there is a lot of thick white substance growing around the branches. I am not sure what it is, and I have searched online but couldn't find any information about it. I was wondering if you could share your thoughts or advice with me. Please help! 🌿🌱🪴

What city in North Alabama??? I live in Cullman but from Decatur! I absolutely love plants, flowers, trees!!!

Hi there! I cut the top off my fiddle tree and placed it in water. Now the stem has loads of stumpy roots, not elongated at all. The roots has been that way for a little over a month. Can I put it in dirt now or wait until the roots become elongated? Thank you!

My fiddle-leaf fig has very tidy leaf’s it’s about 6 foot

When you change the water. Do you add more root hormone? Or is the root hormone only added during the initial phase?

Plz how get rid of brown spot on lyrata leafs? Thx more

When propagating do you apply root powder every time you change the water or just the first time?

Can i use Garden Safe Brand TakeRoot Rooting Hormone ?

I have a huge fig. I cut about 15" off the top 8-10 weeks ago and new branches have already formed on the main plant. However, the propagating piece has only one root about three inches long. I used rooting hormone and have changed the water weekly. There is a lumps near the only root that appeared to be new roots, but they never grew. Do you have any suggestions to speed up the rooting process before the five leaves turn brown?

When changing the water, do you refresh the rooting hormone too?

Any tips on saving a “ money tree plant” I have done almost anything

When you change water, do yo use rooting powder ?

When you change out the water every 5-7wks, did you have to add another set of root hormone in the water?

Each time you change the water do you need to re-dip the plant in the rooting hormone?

Can we use the same procedure to propagate avocados and mangoes?

How long does it take to see signs of rooting? Mine have been sitting in water for a week and nothing. NVM. You answered it.

Whats the best location to store it while in a vase?

How long did this take to propagate

If i remove all the soil from my fiddle leaf fig can i grow it in just water?

Hi can a fiddle leaf grow big only in water

I still dont know where to actually cut on my fig tree to propagate. Can you show me where? Or tell me? 😅

i tried propagating a cutting in vase with water. after some time all leaves started falling off one by one. i still have the cutting in the in the vase with no leaves. i change the water regularly. do you think it will still root? its been almost 2.5 weeks.the only difference is that i didn’t use rooting hormone.

I put my fiddle in water after propagate now my leaves are dropping and soft what to do

Did you use the leaf or stem of tree?

I’m trying to propagate my Boston fern but it’s just not working 😭😭😭 any suggestions?

I live in Texas. All of my leaves have fallen off my fiddle leaf fig. Do I trash it or do I keep watering it are what?

I think mine is dead. It’s just a dry stem with roots. 😭 how do I know if it can be saved?

Hi, I brought a cutting home from another city on a 24 hour train journey and immediately put them in water after reaching home. Then I noticed that the leaves starting drying up. Do you think the cutting will still propogate. I won't give up on the cutting till I'm sure its useless. Also, the weather is changing and is becoming cooler so I'm not sure if it'll root in winters.

Hi...can a fiddle grow in water permanently?

How can I grow fiddle leaf fig from leaf?🙏😁😍

Does it live permanently in water?

Where’d you get your hat?

How old is my fiddle leaf fig tree

Small leaves not tidy thanks

Good info … but the whole concept could be skimmed down to 1 minute . A bit boring

Hello The Plant Doctor!👋🏼 I came across your video because I needed to know how to propagate a🪴FLFT. Yesterday my family and I was outside picking Mulberries and I noticed my Parents’ big, beautiful FLFT, and spontaneously broke-off (yikes!) a little 1’ stem from my Parents’FLFT. I assumed I could propagate it since the stem had nodes and new-green growth on the end. I’ve been wanting to buy one for a while, and it never occurred to me to try to propagate from theirs to save me a couple hundred bucks!🤣 I wanted say hello to you bc you mentioned that you live in North Alabama! I live in North-Central Alabama in a city called Gardendale. I’m not sure you’ve ever heard of Gardendale but you’ve most likely passed through here if traveling to the Gulf-Orange Beach, AL or Gulf Shores, AL. I’m about 10 miles north of Birmingham. Many people stop on I•65•{ Fieldstown Road }•(my exit), to grab something to eat or get gas before you hit the Birmingham traffic. 😃 Just curious to know what area of North Alabama you’re from. What a small world, huh? May God Bless and keep you- and your loved ones too! Kim 😃✝️🇺🇸
