As a plant lover, you might be curious about how to propagate a fiddle leaf fig​. If you're eager to learn the secrets of fiddle leaf fig propagation, you're in the right place. I've had a lot of fun experimenting with this beautiful ficus and put together a few ways to propagate a fiddle leaf fig. Stick around, and I will walk you through every information you need to know!

• Cut a Piece of a Branch

  Can you propagate a fiddle leaf fig leaf? Of course! You must cut a portion of a branch from your tree using some clean and sharp pruning shears. Then, cut the part with three or four internodes down the stem. Remove some leaves at the bottom of this plant cutting to encourage root growth.

  

• Apply Rooting Hormone to the Cuttings

  The next step in fiddle fig propagation is to apply rooting hormone to the cuttings. Simply dip the cut ends of the cuttings into the rooting hormone and make sure they are completely coated. This helps encourage root development and gives your new plant the best chance of growing well.

• Pot Preparation

  Now it's time to prepare a pot! Fill a small to medium-sized pot with a soil mix that drains the water well so that its roots get the proper air supply. Then, soak it in water and make sure the excess water drains out.

• Place the Cutting in the Soil

  Once you have prepared the soil, plant your cutting into it. I like pressing the soil around the stem to secure it. This ensures the cutting remains stable and ready to grow. Well, it sounds simple, but giving your fiddle leaf fig a good start is essential.

• Cover the Cutting with a Clear Plastic Bag

  To help your ficus cuttings thrive, please cover the cuttings with a clear plastic bag to create a mini greenhouse. The extra humidity really helps and gives your cuttings an excellent chance of taking root. I can confirm how well this works. Remember that the bag should be opened every few days for 10 to 15 minutes to renew the interior air and avoid mold formation.

• Maintain Consistent Moisture for the Cutting

  Last but not least, you need to maintain consistent moisture for the cutting. I really like to water the soil with a bit of water whenever the soil starts to dry out. Plus, I wait for signs of new growth before soaking them. This ensures that the cuttings don't get too wet. Under ideal situations, roots will start forming in just a few weeks. Then, you can watch the fiddle leaf fig cuttings begin to grow.
