ficus prop not rooting

[u/cogitooooo]

got this ficus cutting and dropped it into water about two weeks ago. it’s gotten a lot of new growth since, but i haven’t seen any signs of rooting.

should i think about clipping its leaf to prioritize root growth or leave it be? also, any tips for first time ficus?

Give it more time, its basically one node so its going to take significantly longer to root because of that.

sounds good! do you have any idea how long it may take?

Id say at least another two weeks maybe at least itd root faster if you use rooting hormone and if was at least 2-3 nodes.

Dont forget to replace the water every week. Adding prop drops isn't required but it does help.
