This is the best explanation I have ever seen on TH-cam. Do you know which method works the best? I did pinching in the past and it didn’t work.
Thank you so much! From my personal experience I’ve had the best results from pruning. Hope this helps! ❤️
Wow this was the best video ever. I have had this tree for years and it’s one very very tall stick with leaves. But i never understood how others explain how to make more branches. Not leaves. Branches. So this video was very detailed explaining was amazing.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate you! 💚
Don’t dab the sap off. High recommend leaving it alone. That sap is the natural reaction of the plant. Even tho the paper towel would be steril, I would advise not disturbing the plants natural healing process/new growth. Video is great 👍🏼 thank you for making this!
Thank you and thanks for the tip!
Paper towels are not sterile. They have not been sterilized in any way. Nor are they packaged in a way for a sterilized item. I used to work in the surgical field.
kudos to the camera person! very good detail when needed.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! 💚
I’m so glad I found this video your fiddle leaf is gorgeous
Thank you so much! 💚
Brilliant tutorial! I’v waited way too long to top my fiddle leaf and your video gave me the courage to top it! Ty so much!
💚💚💚
Me too, mine is a little over 40 inches now and growing straight up instead of branching out but I think it's still too young to start pruning it.
OMG Thank you ..your the only one who showed🤯 how to take those leave off......🥳...been searching for two hours 🙀. THANK YOU
Omgggg you’re so welcome! Glad I could help! 💚
What a beautiful fiddle leaf fig! So tall and such healthy, large, green leaves 💚💚
Thank you! 💚💚💚
At what point should I put it in a soil?
Wow! Your plant is beautiful! Nice, healthy, green leaves. I’ve never seen one so immaculate!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words! 💚
This was so awesome! You got me over the guilt of pruning my 10 footer (attached to a piece of wood moulding..not a look). Thanks!
💚💚💚
Thank you! I have a dwarf fiddle leaf that grew so much it started to look like a regular fiddle leaf fig. i was scared to prune it but now i have the courage to do so. TY!
Glad I could help! 💚💚💚
You definitely can propagate the leaves!🙌🏽 I propagated multi small leaves from my fiddle leaf fig plant with barely stems on them. It does take longer to grow roots, but it does work 100%. I wish I could upload a picture on the whole new fiddle leaf plants I grew from the leaves.
That’s awesome! A friend was just telling me the same thing yesterday. Glad to hear you’ve had success. 💚 Feel free to DM a pic on IG
Correct. My kids wanted their own fiddle leaf trees in their rooms and I wasn’t about to invest in plants and mine is not quite the height I want tho cut the top so we put 2 leaves in water and now after 6 weeks they finally got roots.🤞
@@margaretmartine9430 how did you do it? Thanks
Very helpful! I have a sad, tall, fiddle that I know I can bring back to life thanks to your video. 😊
Happy to help! 💚💚💚
Thank you so much for all your valuable tips in looking after the Ficus.
I like to see how you love your plants.
They are so pampered.
Pruning is SO hard to do when a plant is as healthy and tall as yours. Congrats on showing us how to do it. In the long run, the tree will be nice and full, and you'll have the extra plant when the cutting roots!
Thank you! 💚💚💚💚
Brilliant video
Thank you 💚
Thank you! Now I do my mine. You made it so easy and understandable.
💚💚💚
I like to “ manicure “ my plants by removing the paper leaf sheathes and throw them away. Pests prefer to make a home of dry plant bits . And hide under them. Great video!
💚
Great video, also keep in mind that plants tend to get leggy when they want more light only growing upwards. FLF trees love the summer heat in partial shade so putting it outside might promote it to branch a bit more as well.
Hey there! Thanks so much for your feedback. I personally choose not to take my houseplants outside because I don’t like fighting the bug battle when it’s time to bring them back into the house for winter, but I appreciate your input. 💚
This video will help me greatly… I’ve been reluctant… fearful. Mine has reached my ceiling also, thank you!!!
Omg. The Best explanation ever . Have been so apprehensive.. but will do what you described! Thx
💚💚💚
Thank you very much for your great informative video. I’ve been wanting to prune my my FLF for about a year now, but you have demonstrated a method that is easy to understand. Just a side note, we keep our house at 72 degrees, give or take a few, all year around and a humidity level between 40 and 45%. I see you have a pot about the same size as mine, and what I usually do for watering is stick my finger down about 2” in the soil and if it feels dry I add roughly 3 pints of water. Usually this occurs every 7 to 9 days.
Thank you again for your great video and a Happy New Year.
Very good video I been lots of problem trying to grow this fiddle leaf. Thanks for you help. Kept looking for a ring😁
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you! Going to try this on my fiddle leaf that has gotten too tall and leggy.
Sounds great! 💚💚💚
Nice video, however I feel like your thumbnail pic is clickbait and misleading 🥺
100% agree. And was thoroughly disappointed when I got to the end.
Right people are the worse always lying
Great information. Going to try it today! My fiddlehead is growing straight and tall ND is hitting my ceiling!!
Thank you! Wishing you the best! Let me know how it goes! 💚💚😊
Ohhhh, I do wish you'd gotten closer with the camera on some of the instructions. I want to pinch my 8 foot tall flf. I expect a new bud soon - they come right after I give my boo a thorough drenching. I'll take it and twist it off, right? I can't wait to see it! Your big one sure is fine and lush. New subbie. The sound the leaves make when snapping off is RIGHTEOUS! I love the plant life! TY!
Ahhh I’m so sorry I wish I gave you a better view! I’ll def keep that in mind for my next videos. Thank you so much for your feed back I really appreciate it! Yes, when pinching you just snap off the bud give it a few weeks and you should start to see several new bud sites appear. The plant that I demonstrated on in this video already has three new buds forming and one new leaf is about to open. It’s amazing! I agree it hurt me so bad to snap off those beautiful leaves! Thank you!
You mentioned in your notes that notching is another way to encourage branching. This tree would benefit from adding some notches to the stem after it is pruned. Just nick the branch above where a leaf comes out and you might prompt a new branch to develop. What do you think?
Great video wish me luck mine is 10 feet been scared to cut it because I love it
Wishing you all the success. 💚
Great video, very relaxing and informative. Feels like a friend is talking. Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much! 💚
Thanks so much foe sharing
That was SUPER helpful. Thank you for making it simple 😊
💚💚💚
I find this really pleasing...
I watch a lot of videos. U gave me more info than most thank u !
Hey there! You’re so welcome! Glad you found my video to be informative. 💚
You are Beautiful and So is your Fig Leaf tree. That country accent is everything. Thanks for the information Love. Bless Up
Thank you so much 💚
@@SableSoSavvy Sooo Imma be using ya tip when My baby grow. I’m building the planterium in the space and Loving it. Will did. an update soon
@@iriefarms1212 Sounds good! Looking forward to hearing about the update!
@@SableSoSavvy Yesss, Ma’am I shall keep ya posted
#SableSoSavvy Thank you SO much Sable. I recently bought my first Fiddle. I am going to take good care of it, as I want it to grow healthy and tall.
You’re so welcome! 💚
You did a great job explaining!
Thank you!
That was great! Easy to understand and follow. Thank u so much. Just what I was looking for 🙏🏾
You’re so welcome! Glad I could help! 💚
@@SableSoSavvy yess 😊
I love this tutorial. My fiddle leaf is extremely tall and leggy...no nodes except at very top. How do I prune lower on stems to get it to bush out?
OMG!!! I love this video!! You explained this so well! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💚
I always use rooting hormone to encourage root growth during water propagation. This technique also increases the speed of root production.
Wonderful vdo, beautifully explain by you, amazing idea, supperb vdo, thanks for sharing, have a great day ahead, warm greetings, stay safe, stay healthy 🌹
Thank you so much! 💚
@@SableSoSavvy most welcome 🌹💚
Thank you so much! This is so helpful. I have two fiddle leaf fig trees at different heights that need to be encouraged to branch. Your explanation and demonstration was excellent. Thanks for instilling confidence to do this! 🌳
Thank you so much! 💚
@@SableSoSavvyэто фикус лирата?
Simple and to the point. thanks
💚💚💚
Thank you, I appreciate your feed back. 💚
Thank you SO MUCH!! This was so helpful!!! The best one I’ve seen!!
Thank you! 💚
Your fiddle leaf is so beautiful. I hope mine grows that tall. It’s growing but slowly.
Thank you so much! Are you fertilizing often? I use a plant food that’s safe for every watering. They seem to be happy with it. 💚
No, I don’t fertilize as I should. How often do you fertilize yours and what kind do you use?
I fertilize once a week while watering. I use Good Dirt Plant Food you can find the link ion the description box.
Thank you , Blessings💖
@@jewelharrison8440 You're welcome!
Save the leaves of your fiddle leaf fig. You can absolutely propagate them - I've done it by placing the leaf upright in a leca setup, and the branch ended up producing roots and leaves. I have two fiddles now (none like yours though). Hope this helps! :)
Thanks for the tips :)
BTW, you and Amber Rose sound just alike.
💚💚💚
Nice video Sable. Thnx for the clear instructions
Thank you so much 💚
Excellent teaching..you explained that very well!! 👍🏽And with this info. I feel confident that my fiddle leaf fig will be a success 💕Thank you.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I appreciate you! 💚
Great info, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 💚
I'd like to hear more propagating videos talking about how often they change their water or do they add root hormone, vinegar Hydrogen peroxide.....
This was super helpful!!! Thank you
💚
SUPER..BAGUS KREATIF.
💚
This is SO helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear you found it helpful! 💚
Yours is so full of leaves mine is 7’ long but the spacing of the leaves is about 2” or more. It looks sad I’m about to follow your method and prune it. 🤗
Super helpful, thank you.
💚💚💚
Wherevdo you scar it to encourage growth? On the Woody part? Or ...
Hey there! Yes, it must be on the brown woody part not any green growth. Hope this helps! 💚
That’s my baby fiddle as well, I’m hoping it grows healthy as well..
I’m hoping you have great results as well!
I see everything is growing big in your house ;)
I haven't had luck with my fig.probably wrong watering and wrong lighting...help
Hey there! Oh no! I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your fig. Is it in a south facing window? I find that it needs be directly in front of the window if that’s not possible then you will need to supplement light. I find that watering once a week with Good dirt fertilizer (link in the description) is a good watering schedule and I always give the same amount of water each time. Hope this helps! 💚
Great tutorial, thanks! Getting ready to prune mine for the first time since getting it. It's loving where it's at and already grown 7 inches. Should I wait to repot or should I do both at the same time?
Hi! Thank you! Are you planning to repot soon? If so I would just do it at the same time so you’re not stressing it out so soon back to back.
What do you all put on the bottom of the planter for these?
I don’t put anything besides a thin piece of screen to help keep the soil from seeping out firing watering. I add my soil mixture and that’s it. 💚
Very helpful, thank you
You’re so welcome! 💚💚💚
Your tree is so healthy 😍
💚💚💚
I was able to propagate my leaves, however, it did take several months before I saw any roots. I actually forgot about it and was just adding water every couple of weeks as it evaporated.
Hey there! I was able to propagate a leaf as well but it had a good amount of stem on it. It now has three new leaves. I’m excited about it! 💚
Thats beautiful FLF wish mine will be like that 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! Follow my tips at yours is sure to be beautiful! 💚💚💚
Very good video! Thank you!
💚
Wowww look how tall it is!! Im just really intrigued by the relatively small pot size.. does that mean they don’t reli require big sized pots to grow THAT tall??
Thank you! So helpful!
Is it too much of a shock to the plant to first prune lower leaves individually, and then prune the top off at the same time?
So, first of all, where do you start your measurement? Mine is 7 feet tall from the bottom of the pot. Yours looks much taller than 8 feet, unless you start measuring from the top of the soil. Or are you just basing it off of an 8’ ceiling? Anywho …
Now that that’s out the way, I was about to refresh my soil mix and trim about 28-30 inches off the top until I came across your video. Now, I’m wondering if I should let her acclimate to the refreshed soil before I trimming or trim before refreshing the soil. Or does it even matter?
Beautiful result in the thumbnail. You may have told us in the video, but how long did it take to branch out like that? I’m gonna rewatch it though. Thanks.
I have a plant that was given to me be a friend because she was battling parasites and gave up. I managed to rid the pests but the stressed plant dropped all of its leaves except for the top few. If I prune off the top half....what would happen to the bare stalk below??
Hello just wondering if the top of the fig grows back? I like the height of mine but it’s touching the ceiling so I want to trim it down but the green stem is rather low down, meaning I’ll loose about a metre of height. Thank you for your advice
What if we have a tall fiddle leaf that looks like a tree (bare all the way up but bushy on top), but we want the plant to be fuller and less tree like? Can i just cut it at the base?
Interesting, you can just put the new stems in water to propagate it.
Great video! Is there a time of year when you should do the pruning? Now it's Fall, is it a good time? Also, my pot does not have drainage holes, can I repot my plant now? Thanks
It is recommended to do any pruning during an active growing season (spring/summer) I don't always follow the rules so I have personally pruned my plants during fall and have had just as much success with them things just moved a little slower. As far as the pot with no drainage I would def recommend moving it to a pot with drainage. is it possible to gently slip the plant out drill some holes in the current pot and put it back?
Thanks so much for your reply. I actually repotted it and it looks happy so far! I also gave it a shower. Fingers crossed 🪴😊
@@rocio1719 sounds good!
Wondering what you use for the tall stake in the pot, and where do you get it from?
Hello it’s a plastic stake I purchased grim home depot in the garden center. Hope this helps! 💚
Great instructional video, includes how to propagate the cutting!
Thank you so much! 💚🌱
Thank you for your detail explanation. Mine is around 4 feet tall. Would you suggest me do pruning or pinching? I’m so afraid to prune it
Hi! It all depends on how tall you want it. I personally would let it grow I bit more than prune it so I’m not compromising any height. For example let it grow to six feet then prune it at 4 feet. That way you get another plant and have it back to 4 feet which is where it is now then have it start to branch out. Hope this helps. 💚
your fiddle leaf is soo tall!! mine stopped growing 😩, do you use fertilizer?
Hey there! Yes, I do use fertilizer. I use Good Dirt Plant food it's linked in the description. I hope this helps! 💚
Wow big fiddle leaf ❤️
Can you put on directly to the pot with soil the cut branch? Pls thanks
That's a nice plant! Thanks for the instruction, I just bought a small one 6 months ago and its growing nicely. Id like it to look like yours. I'm curious as to how old your plant is?
Hey there! You’re so welcome! I’m not 100% exact, but I think I’ve had it about 5-6 yrs now. I was trying to look back to my old pics to when I first bought it and I can’t find any. Glad to hear your is growing nicely! I’m hoping you have great success! 💚
I have the plant. You need you can take it from me freely
I am at Chennai
My fig plant has ugly dark brown spots any suggestions?
Hello there maybe over watering? I would check the roots for root rot. Usually if it a light issue they leaves just turn yellow and drop off. From my experience brown spots are usually associated with watering. I hope this helps. 💚
Thank you for sharing this, was wondering if my single stem Fiddle Leaf would grow extra branches. It is about 4 1/2 ft. and leaning over where I had to put a plant stick in it to support it. My family and neighbors are amazed how it has grown. When I purchased it was only 12 inches. I'm very proud of it.
Yes, absolutely you can prune it to encourage branching. Have to determine how tall you want it before you prune it. 💚
I inherited a fiddle and it is so leggy and tall with only leafs up top. Would it be a good candidate for pruning?
Yes, absolutely. Just make sure you prune in the wooded area not the green new growth. Hope this helps! 💚
Great video, thanks
impressive
Thank you!
Awesome!!
Very informative, thank you
Thank you! 💚
What do you do for brown leaves ?
Hi there! Once they are brown not much you can do for them eventually they will drop off on their own. You will have to investigate the roots, environmental factors as to what actually caused the brown leaf to begin. 💚
This was very helpful. I wonder if you have any advice for drying out my soil. My fiddle leaf is touching the ceiling right now. But for the past 2 months the soil won't dry out. I haven't watered in like a month.
Hey there ✨ thanks for being here! I'm glad to hear you found this video to be helpful@ Thank You! As far as the soil drying out I would take into consideration the drainage holes def want to ensure that there are enough drainage holes and the type of soil. Also increase light and heat. You could use a soil moisture meter in between watering to make sure its dry before watering again. I hope this helps! 💚
🌿🐦Take a chopstick push down into the soil all around the plant to aerate the soil to help dry it out! The plant loves it also. Just be gentle with the roots. U can aerate many times in a month.

@@carolwalker4026 Thank you for the advice. I'm going to try it today!
Thanks!
No problem! 💚
How can i get mine to grow taller? I feel like mine hasn’t grown much taller in the year i have had it
Do you fertilize it?
Thank you..
💚💚💚
Nasıl bu kadar çok büyüdü dilinizi anlamıyorum. Benimde küçük bir tane var ve çok az büyüyor ne yapmam gerek
Great video! Did you cut the leaves off the bottom, or did you pop them off?
What did you use to keep it so upright? Mine is leaning over so much and I haven't found anything that works.
Hi! I had to Zip tie two garden stakes together and then I used velcro garden ties to wrap it around the plant to the stake. I hope this helps!
I propegate every leaf in water and roots sprout out every time
💚💚💚❤️
