Grown from a seed I was sent a while back. Had three but this is the survivor. Heard they will strike from cuttings and this was due for it's early winter prune.

I really like the species. Seems resilient and non-fussy.

This one is about three years old. Probably due for a repot in spring.

Cuttings taken, dipped in clonex, and tossed in a 4x4 tray and bagged as per @leatherback's method.

Growing back in nicely. Cuttings doing well too. All are showing growth.





I just gave it a quick spray of soap and water since I saw some spider mite webbing. Will probably take all the ficus and leafy tropicals out this weekend and spray em down as a precautionary.

My daughter wanted me to plant a tree in my new @mwar15 pot, so I let her pick. She wanted this one out of the oval and into the rectangle. Its been a couple years so the repot probably isnt a bad idea.

Repotted today, pruned, struck cuttings... photos and such in link. Cuttings were dipped in clonex purple gel and planted in some old soil. Repotted the main tree into A.P. + pine bark mix.

Looking good since repot. Three of the cuttings have struck and look good. I removed the humidity dome. Ill repot the cuttings individually later this summer.
