Third and (probably) final BabyFicus Update! Close to three months ago I resized my fairly large Ficus-like-plant and put some of the cuttings in water. All of them survived and started growing roots. I bought a bunch of cheap pots and potted them yesterday. Since I never dared hope all of the cuttings would take root I now have an unexpected problem, mainly: what the hell am I going to do with so many plants? Luckily my sister visited me a week after the start of the experiment and told me that: "It's never going to work, but if it does I want one" I'll probably select two or three of the most promising plants and put them together for my sister, since just one stem doesn't look like much. Maybe I'll keep a few myself and replace their pro

Operation Baby Ficus has successfully reached stage 23! (I think) I have managed to transfer my Ficus cutting from a glass of water to a tiny pot, in which it will spend the next few weeks. The roots were becoming to big to fit in the glass, and I was afraid they might break if I left them in the glass much longer. I hope I haven't damaged the roots to much in the process, since they are extremely fragile. I'm not sure if Baby Ficus will stay alive in soil, so I'll wait and see how this one copes. If he survives the next two weeks I'll consider this a success, and then I'll transfer the other 7 to soil as well. #Plants #BabyFicus

BabyFicus update 4! I potted my smallest Babyficus in a bit-to-large-for-it's-size pot, and it looks adorable. The story behind this Babyficus is a bit different than the other Babyficus. The other cuttings were all fairly large branches, but this one was an experiment to see if a cutting just 5 cm tall would also develop roots. And it did! a lot better and quicker than the larger branches actually! I try to take a picture of it once in a while because it grows so fast! it has doubled in size/amount of leaves in just a few weeks! #BabyFicus#YayPlants
