I plucked the top bud of the tree a few months back and there have been 2 new leaves that have grown from it. You can make several cuttings out of a longer branch. Nodes look like little rings around the stem, and are often where the crispy brown leaf casings on your Fiddle Leaf Fig sit.You can expect to see buds start to increase in size within a week or two. It has three "trunks" that are rather thin right now. That’s fair. Founded in 2015, Dossier started as a place to record notes from Emily’s travels.Since then it has grown to encompass all things creative from DIYs, to organisation and style. It it needs to be repotted, I would do this first in early spring and then prune a few weeks later. This will help the plant adjust to being repotted before pruning.Hey Lindsey, I have found that FLFs seem to grow in bursts but that is a bit of a long time with no growth! For the sake of hopefuls everywhere, I’m hoping yours has!Googling suggests that in theory it can be propagated from a single leaf but I haven’t had much luck with that… so far. I tried it and the fiddle fig cutting just sent out roots finally! He also added a picture of one such plant. Most fiddle leaf fig owners start out with a bush-shaped plant. I too am curious about how the cuttings are doing – especially the single leaf. It’s growing very well. Do you think notching would encourage any growth at this point? Or before it turns into one? I asked my mother recently if we could do the same with the fiddle leaf. definitely too much sun! I would cut it off to the point where the stem drips sap, then you know that that part of the stem is still living. I will be over the moon!! Would love to hear how you go! Do you think it will grow another leaf?

But I am really curious to know if yours had any progress. Do not pick them off or find them gross. Here’s a My Fiddle Leaf is getting rather tall, too tall for the table it sits on, so I’d like to prune it back to encourage some branching out…I’ve been reading what you’ve been saying about it and understand…but I’d like to take the top part that I cut off and root it to be another plant….what is the best way to get it to produce roots and can I plant it in the same pot as the plant that it’s been cut from, when it does root…how long should roots be before it’s planted into soil?Thank you very much…that’s exactly what I needed to know.My fiddle is about 8ft tall. So you may want to do maybe six notches if you’re aiming for two or three branches.Notching is done best on a more mature, or woody stem. This does indeed make each leaf look like the ‘fiddle’ or violin in its name, and this is a very unusual, if not unique, shape for plant leaves. I am very pleased with how well it has grown. This fall, we again will move the plant indoors. Thanks for sharing and your post has got me excited to see my clipping finally start to root!they are so easy to root, excited for your new fig melissa! No brown spots. Very good tutorial! But I rooted it in water, then soil, and it eventually got roots on it, about the size of a ping pong ball’s worth (can’t post the picture here). But then I realized it is a great opportunity to propagate my FLFs!! Fresh air and air circulation around the plant can also assist in growing branches. i have learned that the Fiddle leaf fig tends to grow a tall single stem when indoors. But I was wondering, the part that I’m supossed to pinch has to have a small leaf?
