Probagation


Question
How do you propagate a ficus and is there more than one way.

Thanks.

Answer
Henry,

You can propagate a ficus tree by cuttings or air layering.

The following site has a complete description of propagating trees by cuttings.

The following site has a complete instruction of air layering.

This is the best time of year to complete either method. Do not attempt it after August 30th. It is best to do it asap. If you have more questions after studying thos sites feel free to write again. Good luck.
