I've owned a ficus since the 80s and it was already 10 years when I got that. I thought this was quite informative and picked up things I never realized.
Our building was fumigated 10 weeks ago and someone left this outside in a broken pot. Lol we saved it tonight as heroic novice tree owners. Thank you for just laying it out.
I love the way you explain what you're doing. This will help me to prune my own ficus, thank you.
The finished tree came out looking terrific. I like how you held up the branches to fill in the holes and bring it up. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow 11 year old video and still very helpful!!
was given one of these today that was given to a family member at my aunt's funeral that couldn't keep it around their pets. From top of soil to highest leaf it's only 31" so far.
I'll be taking good care of it ☺️
I inherited my mom's ficus and have been struggling with how to help it. This video is amazing, thank you!!
I love my ficus tree so much! I am not normally a big fan of house plants, but there is something just so charming about my ficus! I think it is imbued with magic, like the species grew, originally, in some faerie dell. Anyhow, I think what is so splendid about it is that it really is a tree! A bona fide tree. If I were the size of an elf, it would be a wonderful tree to sit up against, and smoke my pipe, like a hobbit; or read a book; or just have a nap and a daydream against its pretty trunk.
Perfect! Exactly what I needed help with. Thank you!!
You are awesome! Thank you from NZ!! I searched this everywhere and this is the best demonstration.
I was a little intimidated but this helped a good bit. Thank you so much!
Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!
Maybe you could remake this video with a modern camera to make it easier to see exactly what you are showing us. :-)
I absolutely love this lady, she is genius.
Great demonstration and excellent explanation! Thanks
Beautiful trees. I love ficus.
When she says “take a look at this one” that’s when the cameraman zooms in folks!!!! Come on man
Thank you
I bet she’s fun at block party’s!
I’d cut that plant at the base, repot it six inches higher out of the dirt; stick it in the sun with a bigger pot of water underneath, feed it and grow an amazing plant that will look good anywhere in your house.
Thank you so much for this video! I inherited a weeping ficus and it isn't doing so well... This video will sure help me to get the poor thing back into good health.
Very informative and clear. THANK YOU!
Really hard to see what you're doing. Would be great if you could do another one where you zoom in with the camera.
Thank you, very useful! :)
Very helpful! Thank you!
Can't see what's happening, needs to be filmed closer up.
My focus only has one thick trunk. Yours has a lovely spiral trunk.
Thank you it was good!
Thanks for the video. I am going to trim or have been trimming my ficus tree. Which is pretty big outside. Perhaps I need to see other videos of such trimming for outside ficus trees. :) I thought you video was fine. Gosh, why do people complain. This is UA-cam, it is not a professional place to put up professional videos! thanks for your video. I appreciated it!
Thanks!
Thanks for posting! So helpful! Can you share pictures, as mentioned in the video, of the ficus in the spring?
I agree with this. Despite the video shows an enormous will to help , it misses on details like were to place the cuts and how. Too dark and too far away shots. It could have used some post editing for the cuts or just be patient and zoom in to show the whole thing. It appeared the person filming the thing doesn't know what's going on.
Being shown where she's making the cuts so we can understand why, would have been helpful.
Useful information in here somewhere but sound is poor and you cannot see where the trimming is being done.
I have a braided ficus benjamina I got on clearance @ Lowe's a few weeks ago still in the growers pot it's still dropping leaves put it beside an West facing window that gets lots of bright filtered sun haven't had to water it again yet just would like to know when will she quit dropping leaves and when will I need to put it in soil in it's permanent pot?? (currently still in growers which is sitting inside it's potential new pot)
I have a ficus tree outdoors that's as tall as the garage and has some green and white leave some green leaves should it be trimmed off at the top so that it's round its just tall and bushy with branches going everywhere
Great! I learned a lot from this video. If you see this could you possibly message me and tell me how to trim and braid a young ficus?
Hi I have a ficus tree about 30 feet high will it ever provide my house with shade? And at that hey how do I trim it
Mine won't sprout from the center to fill out. Was there ever a follow-up video to this one?
Is there any way to make the trunk shorter? My ficus is outgrowing it’s pot and I want to make it about have the existing size. It’s currently about six feet tall and not
very leafy.
I want to trim my fig tree but afraid that it may dry out. Sap oozes out every time I cut a branch.
Harika is çıkarmışsınız ancak ışık çok kötü iyi göremedim nereden kestiğinizi
Why has the trunk no leafs?
And how does it come your trunk is so thick?
Gülü nə günə qoydu bu
Hi , how long do they last in the same pot before repotting ? thanks
why don't you just get a book?? there are these places called libraries (ly - br - air - eez) that have these things called books - you open them, they have pages with writing on them - about 1000 times the amount of writing on this whole comments section. Imagine that! And they are usually written by experts; people who have oftentimes even dedicated their lives to the subject. Might want to take a look in your public library before it's bulldozed to the ground. … or you could just ask random assholes on the internet your questions. :7
You have to pull out the plant from the pot, if you see many roots there is to put it into a bigger one 🙂
Why don’t you plant the cuttings? I do.
What can you do to stop your cat from pooping and weeving in your plants? TIA.
We collect pine cones and put them on top of the soil. Cats do not like to walk on them.
@@PJHAWL Thanks.
Could not see 😢
Quale periodo si pota
I forgot to add its 15 years old and never been trimmed
I have a 15 yr old Ficus tree and let me tell you, it is gorgeous and full. What you r doing 2 your tree, is so wrong. You cut so many lovely branches. I cannot believe that u r literally showing people how to destroy their Ficus tree, to make it look good, YOUR way? wow. What a shame! TruthLives.
omg, are not they just so lovely, ficus tree branches :) I would love to *shape* my ficus - as in, direct where it grows - but never to just go about hacking off its branches!
Yes, I thought I was me. But that's my reaction too. Too brutal. It was “healthy “ before she touched it. She didn't bring healthiness to it.
Can't see. Sorry.
The braiding thing is disgusting. I hate how they do that to them. You can’t find any natural ones anywhere
camera to far away to see
Too much echo. Couldn’t understand what you were saying…
Lady, I can’t see where you’re trimming! Get that camera in so we can see where the heck to cut. I’m still hesitant to cut my overgrown ficus. You aren’t being simple enough. Assume we know nothing like what the heck is an internodal(??) ? Such a waste of time.
I don't think it looks very good
You need to video in closer so people can see what you are actually cutting, not useful at all to a novice. I am sorry, but none of us are interested your shirt and gloves.
