@dr.baharehmoshtaghnd3179 4 года назад

I have a FLF that is now 7 feet tall and falling over, it doesn’t have a lot of branching in the lower 5 feet. Even though it has outgrown the pot, it continues to grow bushier At the top and grow tall. I feel like if I cut it in half to depot just the top it might die. I’m wonder what the best approach is? The trunk is actually quiet thin still as well. Should I do this approach and then repot the branches?

@Lia-on5ty 3 года назад

Great, easy to follow n understandable video. Thanks 👍.Can u do notching to any type of house plant? For instance a .. Money tree?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

Yes, other plants can be notched. A money tree is one that you can try notching for more branches and growth. Happy growing!

@freetobemeesh 4 года назад

I purchased a fiddle from a big box store and they already cut off the top stem so it branched from there. I have an awkward side branch that’s going to make it lean one direction if I don’t create a new branch. Will this stunt the main “trunks” growth? Would you recommend the same “notching” method in this instance?

@benjaminmabry 4 года назад

Hi Meg, love your videos! I come here often for tips on my fiddle leaf fig! I'm wondering if I should pinch off new growth so that my tree will give energy to other new growth that I want to focus on. I've got a bunch of little leaf buds showing up but I only want some of them to grow big. If I pinch off some of the new growth, will that just give more nutrients/energy to the new leaves that I want to focus on?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 4 года назад

Yes, that should work. You may find more growth popping up, but properly pruning / pinching can help you achieve your desired look for your fiddle leaf fig.

@benjaminmabry 4 года назад

Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant Resource Center thank you!

@nickhahn5412 3 года назад

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

@francablei838 4 года назад

I loved your video. My fiddle leaf is about 57" tall its one stem and has leaves all the way to the bottom. The leaves are huge and healthy but the bottom ones actually overhang the pot. If I had to describe it I would say it looks like a giant beanstalk. For it to look like a tree besides branching wouldn't i have to remove many of the bottom leaves? So that you could see the trunk?

@bekind1297 3 года назад

Yes, that is what I did.. now she is a lovely tree

@Bea56601 2 года назад

You can definitely do that if that's the look you're going for.

@cathyburns672 Год назад

How can I keep it bushy? The tree looks scrawny as it grows, I like the full bushy look

@FiddleLeafFigPlant Год назад

More light! The more light it has, the more growth it will produce. Even adding a supplemental grow light can be incredibly helpful!

@cathyburns672 Год назад

Will this make it full all over like the smaller bushy fig you showed? I want it like a full evergreen, no sparce spaces.

@missymiss209 4 года назад

Where did you get those large plastic pots?

@jordanmizrahi2722 Год назад

Claire such an amazing video! Can I notch in 2 different spots at the same time ? Just don’t want to do 1 spot and wait for 2 months and no action 😅??

@FiddleLeafFigPlant Год назад

Absolutely! I usually do 3 areas of notching to ensure at least 1 is successful. Good luck!

@jamie615 4 года назад

my fiddle tree is one piece of leaning half its height to one side! where should I notch it and can I replant the top after I propagate it, in the same very large pot?

@McJeffersonAgloro 3 года назад

Don’t forget to rotate your fiddle leaf tree for even sun light distribution if it’s leaning to one side. It is probably heading towards the sunlight.

@luissegovia5980 4 года назад

Hi! :-) Any updates on this video? Thanks!

@no.801 4 года назад

My fiddle leaf had two branches forming a y-shape starting from the base of the tree-but I wanted a single trunk, so I cut the smaller one off and propagated it. The main tree I have left did not develop any leaves on the side where the second branch was, maybe from crowding? Anyway, my fiddle leaf is all bald on one side. Is there a way to grow leaves *only* and not full branches? I would like a single trunk but full leaves from top to bottom. Thanks, if you see this.

@user-mx2zf6pk3w Год назад

Do I cut off the leafs in the bottom to get the tree shape?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant Год назад

Yes, over time, you can remove bottom leaves to create the trunk of your tree. Just remember not to remove more than 10% of the total amount of leaves at one time so your plant does not go into shock.

@cs7630 3 года назад

Thanks for the information! Can I notch it anytime or only during spring? I mean can I notch it now in summer time?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

You can notch it now! It is an indoor plant, so not as affected by the seasons.

Is it possible to use notching method on monstera variegata? Will it work?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

Yes you can, and it is sort of air layering. Here is a resource on that: monsteraplantresource.com/monstera-propagation-via-air-layering/#:~:text=Air%20layering%20is%20a%20process,months%20in%20water%20to%20root. Basically you would air layer it but not remove the section to make a new plant, but just let it grow.

@heronkite 3 года назад

How many notches can I make on a single trunk of a FLF tree? Thanks!

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

I would start with just a couple to see how the plant reacts. You can always add more later if the notching is successful.

@insanelyblissful 4 года назад

I bought a tall fiddle, about 8ft, single stalk. It went into shock and dropped most of its leaves, it’s almost just a tall stick aside for some perky leaves at the very top. What can I do to rehabilitate it? I’m sure cutting the top off would just kill it since it doesn’t have leaves at the bottom to absorb the sun...

@odd-one-out4409 3 года назад

Oh no, first of all, where did you place your plant?

@insanelyblissful 3 года назад

@@odd-one-out4409 I put the it under shade outside and it’s doing better now when I moved even further back in the shade. There is some new growth, miraculously from one of the branches - some baby leaves. Ofc it’s still sparse. Aside from watering and occasionally shaking the trunk for strength, I haven’t touched it for fear of putting it further into shock.

@odd-one-out4409 3 года назад

Pili MF that’s awesome news!! I was so nervous for mine. I’m no pro at this but mine loves morning sun light. And shade the rest of the day. I’m so glad yours is coming back. Before you know it she will be full of life!

@valeriagualdi9141 3 года назад

Can I branch it right after cutting the top? Or should I just be patient?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

If you just cut the top off, I would leave your plant alone to recover for a while. Too many changes can send this plant into shock, they are rather finicky!

@valeriagualdi9141 3 года назад

Thank you!

@sapphireblossom1982 4 года назад

How is it now? Did you get any growth?

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 4 года назад

Have you considered if the pot it is in is getting too small? Sometimes repotting into a slightly larger pot will encourage the plant to put out new growth.

@mirandali5619 4 года назад

so I notched too much (cut way too much) and now my the place where I notched is close to breaking off... will the new growth still come out of there or is the place I notched / cut the tree just done for?! :(

@givemefreedom2359 4 года назад

I would suggest that you just cut that piece all the way off and start you a second tree. It is not difficult and you will end up with two trees. Take the piece you cut and simply dip it in a rooting hormone and put it in water. My topper was cut off a tree from Home Depot (by the employee). I brought it home and dipped it in hormone and stuck it in a flower vase. I made sure not to use city water so I wasn't feeding it with fluoride and /or chlorine. I stuck mine under a full spectrum grow light but that is not necessary, it just boosts the process. It took a while to root. But when it starts to happen, you'll see a lot of little white dots on the stem that will become roots. The rest of the tree will continue growing and you can choose how you'd like it shaped. In the end, what have you got to lose?! Good luck!

Hello i notched my fiddle plant , but no sap came out what did i do wrong?🤔

@imho2278 2 года назад

Water it, or cut deeper.

@emilyflaherty2052 3 года назад

What do I do if the plant spouted another limb near the bottom of the trunk - low "crotch"? It makes up 50% of the tree so I am reluctant to prune it.

@FiddleLeafFigPlant 3 года назад

Hi Emily, here is an article on this topic, which will explain why that is happening and what you can do about it: fiddleleaffigplant.com/fiddle-leaf-fig-growing-leaves-at-the-bottom/ Wishing you all the best!

I ONLY HAVE ONE LEAVE LEFT OS MY PLANT GOING TO DIE

@FiddleLeafFigPlant Год назад

It will bounce back! Check your soil to make sure it is draining properly out the bottom drainage holes. Water when the top inches of soil are dry and the plant needs to be sitting directly in front of an up against your brightest window.
