How to Propagate a Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

[MiiDusa]

Guys you don’t need to CUT YOUR FLF TO DO THIS!!! All you need to do is pull off a healthy or even somewhat healthy leaf from your plant, stick just the very tip of the bottom of the leaf in water, stick that on a nice sunny window seal then just have a little patience & watch her sprout her new roots & then once she has a nice set of roots just transfer that over into a small pot with very good draining soil (I mix my own of cactus soil, half/half perlite, a little drizzle of peat & may throw in just a dabble of volcanic rock) then stick that also in a nice sunny place & watch her do her Thang! You’ll be surprised what some of your plants can & will do with just a little help & patience! I’ve got well over 200+ plants, been growing since I first learned to crawl…I’ve got several FLF trees big, small & rooting but I have 2 special ones rn that are both well over 7ft tall that I actually grew myself from just the leaf alone! BOTH trees weee actually my very first experiment trying the propagation of the leaf by itself & here we are just over 4 years later & they are taller than me! I’ve got a ton of special plants/trees that I am very proud of that’s for sure but I’m very serious when I say that those 2 are very special to me & remind me daily of the things I am capable of accomplishing if I just don’t ever give up even when things fail, keep pushing, stay motivated & just have some patience!! Just remember that FLF trees along thousands of other plants (such as a rubber plant, a magnolia tree etc) DO NOT need to be cut up to propagate! Majority of them can be done with just a little leaf! Hope this helps guys…Happy Planting & God Bless! 🤞😉❤️

I have 3 starts from small suckers that came off the base of my flf. They root up strong. Mama plant has 3 strong main stalks. Thanks for a great video. Love that you show all the way to the roots!

What happens to the stem left in the pot?

If you leave the bottom part in a sunny window, and vitamins on the soil, and a lot of patience, it can remain alive! ♥

You put fertilizer in the water when the cuttings have no roots yet?

I have a fiddle leaf that looks exactly like this but has rust on the leaves and is over watered. It's been outside for 3 months and has been rainy and cold here. I honestly thought it was going to die but hasn't so I'd like to try and save it. Do you suggest doing this or should I somehow stableize it before chopping the top off?

when is the best season to propagate? im from Canada btw

Weekly twice or thrice I am keeping it in Sunlight, even then fiddle plant leaves getting dry and falling off....How to stop drying the leaves..

Do you recommend cutting a very large leaf (in proportion to the stem length) crosswise to reduce water loss, for proper photosynthesis? I’ve seen it done. And I think that’s the reason people do it. Thanks.

New leaves coming out are very small in size.. cant understand why

Can I cut a flf stock into smaller pieces and root single nodes with no leaves?

[Carmen-pdm]

Im going to do this hopefully i dont kill whats left of plant 😢

Not propagating. You're only growing roots higher up on the plant. Would have been better to actually propagate more plants with all those wasted nodes you discarded!
