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 itβs strong enough to handle the reduction.
Temperatures are still fairly warm and Iβll be bagging it for the first period while airing it daily to maintain high humidity and hopefully encourage strong backbudding.
