Separated and potted up today. Looks like I should've done it last weekend. With all the rain and high humidity we got roots started to die off. There was no foul smell and I think it's going to be okay. Also looks like it bridged and most of the roots are on the lower cut, but there are some on the top too.
What type of root hormone did you use ? If any.
Additionally, only one month and that many roots?! Wow!
I used Clonex. Honestly I don't think it makes much difference with ficus. I also stuck smaller branches in water and after the white bumps started to expand planted them in a pot and the rooted beautifully.
But it's a ficus
That great to know! When is it preferable to prune? Anytime of the year? I wanted to prune mine for shaping, but didn’t want to lose a nice branch that could potentially be another beginning of a nice tree.
I am by no means a ficus expert. As much as I gathered from my internet searches it can be done any time as long as adequate aftercare is provided. Like nice warm and humid inside grow room in temperate climate. Mine are inside in a normal room, but heat vent output is diverted and I put a humidifier on for them here and there. And they have supplemental light. They do just fine, but really explode outside in summer. You might be in a better place in Cali.
