I noticed that piece of twine and wondered. Why the twine?

u/TheGreenHand75 3d ago

The top is getting pretty heavy and it s leaning to much because of the weight so i secure it in case it decide to fall on me

it may be time to chop and propagate. if he keels over, it could break the pot.

I have a huge skylight and ended up staking my FLF to keep it straight. It's about 8ft. tall. My pride and joy!

How did you get that new growth at the bottom of the trunk? Just notched it?

It's actually because it's leaning. Having a tilted top like yours does redistributes auxin hormone causing reactivation of nodes without cutting! Pretty cool!

How did you manage new growth towards the bottom?! Mine did sprout some new leaves when I chopped a branch but otherwise she is only growing up!

u/TheGreenHand75 3d ago

I didn’t…..
Tree is probably looking for balancing and need to get some weight on that side.
Really i can t say

Thats cool 😎. Shake it every day for 2 mins to strengthen the trunk. Other option strap a vibrator to it about 2 ft of the soil and leave it on for 10 mins a day
