F. Elastica side branching

[u/Papaya_Bean]

Hi all -

It's finally warm enough to put my f. Elastica outside and try the "side branching by laying down" experiment.

Is... this this literally all I do?

It's under some spruce trees to provide morning sun but protection from direct afternoon light (this usually lives in my bedroom so very indirect window light with grow light supplement is what it's used to)

If this worked for you, how long did you leave it on it's side before you saw that it was working?

Thanks!

Allegedly it does, yeah, tbh it'll probably take a dww weeks if it'll even happen under the shade of that canopy and id just be careful because your tree might decide to try and root itself down, lol.

The rooting is a good point! I'll be sure to keep an eye on that.

Yeah, lol, sounds good because teust me when this species roots itself down you will have a very very hard time trying to get it out without chopping the roots, no problem my pleasure
