"Be bold, bite the bullet, and make the cut." Peter Chan owner/founder of Herons Bonsai, London's premiere bonsai nursery. It most certainly is a "leap of faith" when making drastically hard pruned cuts, especially when it's taken so long to grow and, in the case of bonsai, can cost hundreds of dollars. When done INTELLIGENTLY your plant will rejuvenate and become the thriving and enjoyable plant you've desired! It's also good to apply a sealant to the wounds to reduce the loss of sap. Great video my friend, keep it up!

I did this to a fiddle leaf fig that had reached our ceiling a year or two ago. It only had one LONG stem. I hacked it below the halfway point, then I created cuttings from the top portion. The base has branched and now has a lot of leaves. All the cuttings have formed individual plants. So, now I have a branched main plant, instead of one long stem, and a bunch of baby plants.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

A great success 👍

@dawnt6791 Год назад

@@markb8954 I didn't do anything but cut it and drop the bottom ends into water. I didn't do anything else. The plant took care of the rest. Once each piece had roots and started sprouting leaves, I put them into pots.

@yassebasse86 Год назад

I have a huge fiddle leaf fig I want to do this to! It's my favorite, but it's becoming so top heavy and leaning too much in one direction. I'm scared to do it but glad you had success. How long did it take for it to start growing? At what time of year did you prune it?

@dawnt6791 Год назад

@@yassebasse86 Scared the heck out of me, too. I initially tried "layering" but that failed completely, so that's when I decided to go extreme. Scared me badly, since it's one of my favorite plants, but I finally took a deep breath and just hacked it off. It actually took a few WEEKS before I finally started seeing the first hints of new growth. Once it started, though, it really took off.

@majestichotdog1195 Год назад

before you cut the head off your tree for tilting slightly you might want to consider metal wire for binding it straight. this is done to bonsai to shape them and works just fine. if the stem is too tough you can just bind one end of the plant to the pot and pull it straight. i use this method to get a funny S-shape on my shefflera stem for aestetics.

90% of my plants are throne-less so I do the soft pruning using my fingers to pluck or pull back the leaves to break off naturally.

I've pruned my pothos at the base whenever their longer stems no longer have any leaves to encourage new growth. I can also save the nodes from those same stems to develop new baby pothos; however, I haven't done that method in awhile because I have too many of these plants now. 🤣

@just_space_ Год назад

Yesterday I chopped off the top of my money tree, I accidentally overwatered it a few times and it was looking terrible so I decided to propagate the last few healthy leaves in order to save it before it’s too late, but I’m also keeping the leftover stem to see if it’ll regrow anything. Sometimes it’s fun to experiment!

@katjaamyx2922 Год назад

Thanks for this excellent, approachable content! I have a poinsettia (rescued from work after Christmas about five years ago) that has gotten very leggy - too tall and just a few leaves in a bunch at the top. Now having watched your videos, I'm guessing it needs both a root prune and a hard prune. Since it's May as I'm writing this, I'll start with the hard prune described in this video and maybe save the root prune until winter rolls around and the plant has had time to recover from the hard prune.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

You’re probably better off doing both now to be honest

A lot of plants can be propagated from cuttings. I did it with a Dracaena marginata “tricolor” several years ago after it had grown to over 3 feet tall. Now I have 2 of them together in the pot. Succulents with stems can be propagated this way too. (You can also propagate some succulents from leaves, but they take years to mature.)

@beena8510 Год назад

I did the same to mine. But whenever I saw a new branch coming out is not the way I like, I wait until it's 10" long and has 3-4 leaves, then I cut it plant it another pot.. I succeeded twice but failed last year as the branch was wilted. Then when my original plants need repotting I also plant the propagated branch( having healthy roots) along side it..

@aquaopa1 Год назад

I am very inexperienced. I hard pruned a ficus bonsai (curtain) that I have had for 7 years. I thought it was a goner.... It was perpetually droopy, yellow and when I would water it, the runoff would be red/dark brown (root rot). I cleaned up the roots, cleaned the pot, gave it fresh potting mix and hard pruned it so it looks like a bare dead tree. I had read after I did this that plants need leaves and without leaves plants will die (so I thought). I initially thought I had killed it, as it stayed in that bare state for several weeks. Mind you I did this in February. Right when I nearly gave up hope I saw tiny small green buds (end of March). Those buds quickly turned into freshly green stems and leaves (April). My plant is now bushier and better than ever!

I just started working as a gardener at a big garden store that also does winter storage for potted tropical and sub-tropical plants. Mostly these come from bars and restaurants that use them simply as decoration for their outdoor seating, and nobody working at those places is employed as a gardener, so watering is all they ever get from their owners. There's a couple of customers where I'll be calling the owners to ask we can do some serious downsizing on their plants. I've been doing a few deliveries with our delivery drivers, and getting a highly fragile plant through squeezes between houses and garages that are only a third as wide as the plants is just a terrible day at work for everyone involved.

I cut or should i say slashed just above where all the leaves was and now it has branched out on each one of those cuts with several leaves on each (not one leaf like before). So if you wanted growth further down or the opposite side you could try that method to encourage growth.

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

So you didn’t cut all the way through? I’m trying that now and waiting for something to happen

@dee4716 11 месяцев назад

@SheffieldMadePlants no just a little cut right above where the old leaf use to be. It worked very well for me.

I’ve got a Ficus Lyrata that’s about 20 years old and almost 3m tall. It was rescued from someone in my mom’s office, and while it bounced back, it’s always been tall and spindly and rather off-balance. Do you think a chop like this would work on a significantly older plant? Past cuttings of a branch here and there have spurred some branch and new leaves, but those have pretty exclusively been greener wood. I’d love to reinvigorate and reshape it, but I don’t want to kill it. ETA: of course now I’ve watched the rest of the video and see you also did an older plant. Question stands, though. You haven’t led me astray before, so I think I’m just a little nervy about it 😅

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

You'll be fine to go quite low. The Ficus family respond well to a hard prune.I was nervous too but I took the plunge and I don't regret it

Hi! Your videos are very cool and useful. Thanks! However, I have not found an answer to my question about my monster growing as an epipremnum. It just keeps going up, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me?

@jameshollyoak8230 Год назад

Just found your brilliant vlogs ; can you please do one on indoor jasmine I had one that was in flower on a wire hoop ; what do I do now it’s stoped flowering?

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Thanks. I'd need to get a Jasmine first 😅

Hi am new to the channel and already a fan. 👍 Naturally i want to take a bit of care for my houseplants now that i know what i can do. So my question is, fist the root pruning and then the hard prune or the other way around? I guess both at once would be a bit harsh ✂️

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Hi. It depends on what’s needed. If it’s rootbound then go after the roots. If the foliage needs a cut then do that. It shouldn’t be much of a problem doing them both if it’s needed

@RavenVargas27 Год назад

I love doing it to jade plants I stuck a leaf in soil it got roots their amazing decapitated a tall one I had the cutting grew like a weed

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Very satisfying

After you prune any rubber plant better than keeping it indoor at the brightest spot shift it outdoors in full sun I did the same after pruning my plant It had only 1 long leggy stem so I pruned it ,today just today 4 new shoots came from every side😆 after some leaves come shift it in indoors again good idea Tip From (HY Greens LTD)

That’ll work 😁👍

@Funnii_666 Год назад

Thanks for the tips! I’m hesitant but I will start doing it 😎 Can I just ask you how do you deal with dust? I read to wash the leaves with lemon juice and water but idk 😂

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

For smaller plants I rinse them under the shower if they are very dusty. For larger one I use good old h20 and a cloth 😁
