Notching is a technique used to encourage branching on a fiddle leaf fig without cutting off the top. ✂️🌿By making a small cut just above a leaf node, you can signal the plant to activate a dormant growth point and (hopefully!) grow a new branch. I also added cinnamon to the cut to help prevent infection and support healing. For more success with notching, try making several notches along the trunk—and go a bit wider. Wider notches are more likely to trigger new growth just below the cut. 🌱Hav

Eight weeks ago I tried notching my fiddle leaf fig in two spots to encourage branching… and nothing happened 🌱 Not too surprising, because notching doesn’t always work. Notching is when you make a small cut in the bark just above a leaf node to redirect growth hormones and hopefully trigger a new branch. Before you try notching, make sure your fiddle is actively growing and well-fertilized—otherwise it won’t have the energy to push out new branches. Today I’m trying again, making the cuts a bi

How to make a rubber plant bushy - This method is called notching. You can do it on many plants - scheffleras, rubber trees, fiddle leaf figs, etc. You can do it on most woody plants. Make a cut above a node, like I demonstrated in the video. ⠀ ⠀ A growth regulator auxin is what forces lower buds on a stem to remain dormant. Auxin flows from actively growing shoots downward in a plant. It only flows downwards. ⠀ ⠀ Imagine a shallow stream of water. If you put a large rock in the middle of the st

Replying to @user7429041491831 Let’s notch my dramatic fiddle leaf fig! I’m manifesting big fig energy using this sound too 🌱 It’s been 4 days with no growth so I’m getting unnecessarily impatient so it’s notching time! Notching encourages new growth so fingers crossed we’ll see the beginning of some new branches in 4-6 weeks 🌱 To notch a fiddle leaf fig you cut a little wedge above a node with a sharp knife (be careful!) and wait impatiently #plantsoftiktok #fiddleleaffig #fiddleleaffigtree #
