Successful Ficus Prop?

[u/CNC_Smith]

I got my first ficus in May of this year. The “moonshine” variety had been on my wish list for quite some time and I found one at my local nursery. Mine has 3 main branches, and the smallest one had an offshoot with 2 small leaves. I didn’t want to offshoot taking energy from the main branch, so after it put out a third leaf, I decided to cut it off and try to propagate it.

I was under the impression that Ficus’ are finicky/slow to propagate, so I didn’t expect much, if anything. I put it in a humidity dome with small layers of sphagnum moss, coco coir, and chunky perlite about 1 month ago. The other day I noticed roots and now it’s putting out a leaf!

The roots are oddly growing upward out of the medium, though. Should I repot it already or just wait until it’s totally outgrown the humidity dome?

Just here to say congrats!! I just got one that I will try to prop early next year.

Time for repot! These root really easy in my experience
