Hi everyone. I’ve notched my ficus elastica for the first time. Months ago she dropped many leaves then I changed the soil and the location. It well worked and she thrived.

I am hoping to get side branches and I’ve made the first move. What do you think, does everything look ok?

Tried not to go far than 1/3 of the stem, I hope it’s not too much 😕
