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.
