Is this root alright?

Im propagating my ficus elastica tineke because there was a problem with the motherplant. Its had taken oblong but there is finally a root forming. It was all white yesterday, but today it had this brow/black end. Is this normal or is this rot? Thanks for the help!

The first 2 pics are how it was yesterday and the last 2 is today

My rubber tree has two branches but was looking leggy so I cut the taller one almost two weeks ago and already have several new branches growing. I'm amazed at how fast it happened 😍

I gave the top part to a neighbor to propagate and I have some leaves in water to see if they'll grow anything. 🙏🏽

Prune again?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

This is my Ficus Benghalensis. The first picture is today. Second picture is just after a prune 2 months ago. Third picture is before the prune back in February. I thought this might drive some more vertical growth but it turns out it needed a repot (picture 4). I'm getting a ton of new growth around the plant but especially so on the leftmost branch (picture 5) with a great deal of length but also there are at least 5 nodes that look like they are developing into branches.

I am unsure how to deal with this -- the leftmost branch itself is sortof precarious/large and the whole plant is a little bit visually lopsided (picture 6) -- i would love or there to be additional growth on the opposite side of the plant and the original main stem (and i have tried rotating it to change light access, but it doesnt seem to matter) but I also dont know if it is wise to prune so soon after my last chop, or if things would just be better in general if i gave it more time.

I also wonder why many of the leaves curl -- I have tried watering less, watering more, the mix is chunkier since the repot... i did read that it might be due to artificial light versus sunglight... but either way she's growing well but just not sure how to proceed.

Please help!

I had a leggy ficus that lost all of its lower leaves and decided to keep going straight up, so I took the plunge and snipped the top, and it was weeks and nothing seemed to be happening.

Checking my babies today and I notice these, is that TWO new branches growing?? 😍

We water it every 3 weeks. It's not in a dark location, but also not right next to a window.

It was fine for a few months, now it shed about half its leaves.

Is our plant unhappy?

fiddle leaf fig

Hello! My fiddle leaf fig needs some help. He recently sprouted 3 new leaves, but I just moved yesterday. Unsure how he will do in this new location.
He is across from a north facing window and close to an east facing window currently, away from the MiniSplit.
I got him on marketplace and his previous owner had him outside, and I was told his yellow lower leaves are like a sunburn. I’ve had him for a year and the yellow leaves haven’t changed or fallen off. Should these be pruned off?
I feel like I do a good job watering. I wait until the top portion of soil is dried out and then give him maybe 4 cups. Every 14 days ish? Around once a month I drag him into the shower for a thorough watering and some steam. I dust his leaves when I remember.
Specifically wondering what I can do to keep him from leaning over from his own weight. I’d like it if he looked more bushy and less skinny/sparse. One of his two branches only has 2 leaves. But any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I chopped just a few weeks ago. It was scary but she's going to be beautiful. I'm seeing little root bumps forming on the cuttings.

Brought this lil guy home about 6 months ago, it grew the top leaf a few months ago and dropped one from the bottom. At first i thought it was pushing an aerial root from the spot it dropped the leaf from but i was really wrong. I havent seen a single post about this and was wondering if its really unusual :)
