[@dane8954]

Wow! You make it look so easy. Great job!

[@karenelsworth2211]

Thank you that was so helpful :-) I have just braided my first ficus!

[@Eastbaypisces]

do the cuttings have to be that thick? I took really thin pieces, should I take thicker ones then?? how often do you know to water with perlite?

[@GinaHaffie]

thank you very much. I will be braiding my propagations!

I have a big Benjamin ficus , reaches to the ceiling, and a few months ago it had a severe bug attack, and lost 40-50 leaves a day until quite empty looking, but with some natural treatments I am happy to have saved it and it also grew out new fresh leaves but has not achieved the fullness yet. There are about 3 long branches that I would like to cut out so it can become fuller near the stem, but I am uncertain if the tree would be stressed to early by that? What is your advice?

hola buenas noches. te felicito tu video es muy bueno. quisiera saber de q se compone el material q colocas en las macetas para las estacas y saber si le agregas algo mas o solo agua y en que tiempo hecha raiz las estacas. gracias por tu valiosa ayuda

[@carldion2798]

Hi, thanks for your comment. The material used to root the cuttings is called perlite. I believe it's known as "perlita" in spanish, although I can't tell you if it's available near you. During the rooting process, only water is added in order to prevent the plants from drying up. The cuttings will root in about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the air temperature. ----------------------------- Mi espanhol no es muy bueno, pero puedo tratar de responder. El material en las macetas es perlita, una roca volcanica. Agrego solo agua durante el enraizamiento, para evitar que se sequen las estacas. Hecha raiz las estacas en 4 a 6 semanas, dependiendo de la temperatura.

Hi Carl, thank you for the time to answer me and also for the indications, because I tell you that I can not make them reproduce, I do not know if it is the temperature of the environment or the water or something else but I keep trying, thanks for your help and if you can Have a video about the schematics and how to root the fiche in more detail, thank you and have a nice day
