Jak rozgałęzić, przyciąć i rozmnożyć FIKUSA sprężystego ? Fikus cięcie, rozmnażanie, rozgałęzianie

Hey, good morning, I don't know if you remember this ficus. This is a ficus of my friends. They gave it to me to take care of it. They want it to start to branch out, because so far it is one bud. It stood with me through the whole winter and started to wake up in the spring. He started to release new leaves, so this is the right time to work with him a little to start to branch out. And we have three ways for that. I will present you the methods that worked in the case of the ficus that I saved from the next staircase. I hope you remember his story. Method 1 On the main stalk and side branches in the places where the leaves grow or the remaining spruces, i.e. in the so-called nodes, there are small, slanted buds, i.e. buds of new leaves and branches. We can stimulate growth by cutting the stalk just above them. We make the incision with a clean tool, preferably a knife. We make the incision about 1 cm above the bud. We make the incision at an angle until we feel a slight resistance. We cut about 1 mm deep into the stalk until we notice that the plant starts to release juices. Watch out for the ficus juice because the latex contained in it can be sensitive. We can make a maximum of 2-3 incisions on one plant. When the plant starts to branch out under the incision, it starts to produce leaves, then we can make more incisions on the remaining branches. The second way is to remove the growth stalk, i.e. the top of the plant. When our ficus has grown to a height that satisfies us, then we can tear off, cut off the top. Removing the top of the growth should stimulate the plant to branch out. I don't do it yet because we will now move on to the third method. The third method is simply shortening the branch. We can cut 5, 10, 15 and so many centimeters if we want to shorten the plant. When we cut the tops, it is worth taking such a fragment that we will be able to root. The cut branch that we want to root should be at least 8-10 cm long. Because this ficus has a damaged leaf, I will cut off such a fragment of the top to cut with this leaf. I tear off the lower leaves I leave 2-3. I can put the picked seedling directly into the water, to the other ficuses that I am currently rooting, put directly into the substrate which consists of a mixture of peat and perlite. The substrate should be still slightly moist. It is worth covering the seedling with a foil bag or a glass dish and placing it in a clear, visible place. We can safely place it on the east, south and west parapet. We can also root the seedling in a wet peat moss. I use this method. I drain the previously soaked peat moss, wrap the seedling, wrap it with a stretch foil and put it in a jar. When we root in a peat moss, we cannot allow it to dry completely. Therefore, I will pour some water about 1 cm into the dish. I will place the seedling in a clear, visible place with a diluted light. When I notice that the moss has dried from the top, I will moisten it with a cloth or a sprayer. I will present the processes of rooting and branching ficuses in vlog videos. Thank you for watching!
