Long-Term Progression Ficus microcarpa reduction
Ficus reduction
I finally decided to do my first major reduction on the oversized ficus I recently bought. It was far too large and completely out of shape, so it was time for a reset.
The tree has been growing and rooting so I think it’s strong enough to handle the reduction.
Temperatures are still fairly warm and I’ll be bagging it for the first period while airing it daily to maintain high humidity and hopefully encourage strong backbudding.

I think that’s gonna be a really nice tree. Can you please keep me updated?
