Pruning your Ficus tree not only gets it into shape, but also encourage healthier foliage.
In this video, I am going to share few tips and tricks that I know for a healthier and fuller Ficus tree.

This video was absolutely brilliant. I have a mature, healthy ficus benjamina that desparately needs pruning to restore an upright shape (similar to your plant's original state). You did a wonderful job explaining the method behind proper pruning and demonstrating it all. I'm a lot more confident in proceeding with my attempt now. Time to get some sheets, sterilize the shears, wear long-sleeved shirt and get started! Thank you! 🤞😀 (and I've got enough for cuttings, too and I love the idea of giving some to family).

Thank you so much. I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy one of these so I took a look around the web and KZfaq and found your video. You’ve made me realize it isn’t too hard to cut back to size and keep it manageable and even get some pieces to propagate for friends and family in the process. :) Imo the repotting made such a big difference! (And the pruning of course.☺️) great job!! You have a beautiful ficus! Thanks for the video.

I don't have a care video, but this plant needs very little care. Just water it, when the top layer of the soil is dry. Prune it every other year or when ever you feel it is being unruly.

Hey, I bought a large ficus Benjamin about 6 months ago which was thriving but since 4 weeks it’s losing all its leaves. So I’ll prune it short this week I guess, but not sure if I should repot it as well. It’s still in the original pot but feels like it’ll go bold if I repot it 😅 what do you reckon?
@DIYHomeofMine
@DIYHomeofMine 2 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, your plant could be root bound and needs to be re potted. And also don't over water it. Water it only when the top one inch layer of the soil in pot is dry to touch. Usually indoor plants don't like overwatering. You can also check out my other video about repotting process of the same plant. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arR1gLRhq5PZpmQ.html I hope it helps. Let me know if you are able to solve the issue.

@DIYHomeofMine
@DIYHomeofMine 9 ай бұрын
It does loose leaves, that's called life cycle. Then also it gets new leaves.If it's been 5 years since you repotted your plant, may be it's time to repot again. You can also prune the roots while repotting the plant. I hope it helps.
