Decapitating My Ficus Audrey | Part 1 + Terracotta Saucers Update

[@nicoleleatherman9501]

Can you give an update of the cuttings that you clipped off? Also, some of the other leaves that were on your plant had black spots so I'm wondering what happened to those?

I believe this is a ficus Altissima and not an Audrey. Audrey has a whiter stem and the leaves have a slight/fuzzy feel.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it!

[@Dwynfal]

Yup, I concur, it's an Altissima (lucky you!). The green on green variegation are typical of the Altissima, the Audrey's leaves are a solid green (as well as being slightly fuzzy like henrykmin mentions) .

When I used sealer on my saucers, I coated only the outside. Not sure if that would make a difference.

[@breannhollinger]

Good call, I’ll have to give that a try!

Terracotta pots are only good for succulents
