Finally a propogation video with the updates within the same video 🙌🏾
He & Techplant are my favorite because they film their vids over multiple weeks/months to show the entire process in a single vid
This was a solid video! Thanks for having the patience to show the whole process. =D
I did the same thing and I’ve never seen such strong roots in water propagation! If you are interested in seeing them I made a video on it. I’ve got my cutting potted up now and it’s doing great.The only thing better than a Fiddle Leaf Fig is two Fiddle Leaf figs!
Is there an update on how these are going? I’m particularly interested in how the mother plant has gone - have those 2 stems produced leaves / branches?
Thanks for showing me how to propagate from a cutting. Mine is ripe for a trimming and instead of throwing away the tips, I can root them and give them to friends as gifts! Kisses!
I would love to see an update on that new plant that you propagated on this video :)
Please do an update.
@@daiamichaels5238 do your own...its sooooo easy👍

Thank you! I just tried this and it worked very well for me.
Thank you Nick. That was very informative and loved the demonstrations. This makes me want to jump in there right now and propagate my fiddle leaf plant.
Wow, look at those roots so healthy and strong! I'm sure the baby will thrive under your care! Good luck Nick! :D
Hey, have you done an update on these fiddle figs? I'd love to see how they are doing 😍😊
Awesome video! Thank you!
I do have a couple follow up questions... While the cutting was in water, where did you keep it (light, temp, environment, etc)? And what type of fertilizer are you using? 😀 Your plants look great!
Also friendly tip- when you cut from the parent plant use some cinnamon over the open area to keep out any pest/disease while it scabs over. 😊
Faith Jones I’ve done this before, indoors with lower light levels away from direct sunlight. Don’t bother with fert until it’s rooted. Liquid feed for best results. But I just use the cheapest granulated shrub fert and I probably feed it 3-4 times a year. Lazy but crazy 🤪
Hi, Nick. This is Jalika, Rasul's wife. Thank you again, for showing, on how it's done. Great job!
I love your vibe and how you speak. Thank you ❤️
Thanks for showing the progress of the roots starting off in water. Now I know what to watch for and how long it might take. Very helpful. I would plant my cutting in a bigger pot to begin with so that the roots have more space and soil to become established before having to re-plant to a larger pot.
Placing a new plant in a pot that is too large can actually increase the risk of rot, believe it or not! The roots can only draw up water from soil they can reach, so if you have a lot of extra soil, the water could sit and potentially create mold or rotting conditions. The size pot he used was almost perfect for the size of the cutting, especially with a sensitive plant like the FLF! 😊
@@livross4264 killing a plant with a too small pot is easier than killing it with a too big pot.
Thanks for sharing your lovely video and amazing information and thanks for showing your cuttings rooks how it looked and when to put in compost please your cuttings update after planted into the soil thanks ⭐️👍💕🌿
Hi Nick, could you please show us an update on both of the plants please.
Sorry but just a couple more tips.. you can add a little aloe Vera (goo) to the water or roots: it acts as a natural root hormone. I don’t recommend store bought root hormones or regular fertilizer with this one, it’s too much for the plant. Also, make sure to tap your pot on the table after every few inches of soil to get rid of air pockets... water thoroughly when first repotting; any bubbles are a sign of air pockets, continue to water until all pockets are gone and allow fiddle lead to dry out (water stops running out of the pot) before placing back in its ceramic or woven, well ventilated pot. Good Luck with this snooty beautiful tree..
👍
For a small pot like this tapping the pot isn’t going to get rifle of the air pockets and you’ll just knock your cutting over
Update on the mother plant! I would love to get my fiddle to branch
Love that you gave updates! It really helps me in knowing what to expect. Great video!
This lovely plant is the super star of all indoor plants!!
OMG Why are your leaves so beautiful and perfect. Mine are super crispy.
Maybe more humility? Or too much direct sun!
I knew you would have exactly what I needed... this video is really going to help me out with my fig ! Thanks Nick!
lol you're so cute, thanks for the video, very informative and helpful!
Hi everyone, quick tip that wasn’t mentioned. My cutting was not growing after a month in water. I decided to then put some rooting power on the bottom, two days later, it’s rooting very healthily! Hope that helps some of you too that this didn’t work for!
what kind of potting soil did you used?
I heard that cinammon does the same effect 😉
Use a mix of Soil + Perlite, or my preference is 50% Soil, 30% Coconut Coir, 20% Perlite for better drainage but keeps soil moist for longer! Add a splash of seaweed / Seasol in spray bottle w/ water and spray to accelerate your cutting once it establishes roots!
Thanks for this video, I love how you showed the follow up. 👏🏼
Thank you for this video! Yesterday I made my first propagation of Lyrata, this give me hope that it works!
Rodolfo Arangua how was it?
Awesome 😄 I love watching your plant videos,.thanks for sharing 😄
Thanks. My tree is growing too tall. I’m going to give this a try.
You are just too sweet! Thank you! So helpful ☺️
Plants are amazing! Subscribed! I love your content.
Good video!! Thank you for keeping everything in one!
Lol this was a cool probation video, also I like the mini patron bottle that you used to root the plant 😂
Please do an update of both fiddle leaf trees!! I tried to stalk your Instagram but no update :(
That's simple and yet great! Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you Nick!
Nice tutorial! Very informative. I just can’t wait to try this out my with lyrata as well. Thank you
I just bought another fiddle this last weekend because it was a cheap price and a decent sized plant, hopefully I don't make any mistakes with this one like I did with my first 2 lol.
It actually does produce figs if it's old enough, just fyi :)
are they edible? I have a very old tree that produces tons of fruit! The dogs love it.
I love you’re videos
Enjoyed the video as always. Great root system. Thanks for sharing.
That was pretty awesome! Keep up the good work. I'd like to see propagation of any of the Marantacea (?) I have about 8 different varieties (and 2 more on the way) and would love to have more of them without spending more $$$. They do well for me here in South Louisiana. The calathea lancifolia I have in my office is a show stopper. So beautiful it looks artificial.
Love your vids and you but please consider getting some secateurs! I’m always terrified you’re about to cut yourself with that little red knife!
I’d love to see more propagation videos!
Great video! Can you please please please do a video on monstera adansonii care?? There really isn't that much information out there on it, and mine is struggling. Some of the leaves are getting brown spots, and I really don't want it to die! :(
You are so adorable! And I love all your videos
Hellow nick.. nice info for propagated. Thanks 😊
UAU UPDATES AT THE SAME VIDEO!!! THANKYOU!!!!
This is so helpful.... 👍 I really like your video...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO
MORE POWER AND GOD BLESS
Fab, i ll try the same. thanks for sharing
YEAY! Great video!
Are those roots pearling? It sure does look like it, how awesome!!
Awesome video! 🌱
Very informative! Thanks so much
Thank you for the video !!! Love it 💕 I’ll try with mine 🙏🏼💕
i'm late to the party, but did you use any rooting hormone? also, love your store - i live right up the street and am always there
Thanks so much! No rooting hormone used here; typically it’s used when planting directly in soil. If you’d rather skip the water, I’d recommend it!
@@NickPileggiPlants Thanks Nick!
Thank You for the Great Video
It looks beautiful I want one she reminds me a plant from the beach in my country
Nice Job very impressive!!!
Nick great video. Once you put in the soil the rooted leaf or branch, do you put in in the shade only or a lot of sun, and for how long? Or do you put it in the same environment the mother plant was in? Thanks.
HELP!
Long story (not so) short, a friend of mine had a FLF about 4 feet tall with about 12 leaves (some brown spots, nothing big). It didn't grew any new leaf in a whole year. ROOT ROT (overwatering). We take te top of the plant but the leaves didn't make it, they started to curl and dehydrate, nonetheless we kept the cutting (just the stem in water). Later we repotted the plant, with fresh soil. It was too much stress I guess they just started to look droopy. so we make 5 more cuttings (6 total with the first one). few days later the cuttings had the same fate, curling and turning gray. Apparently it was some kind of fungus that killed the leaves. still decided to keep just the stems in water. Few weeks later we noticed it had some root showing, those little popcorn roots on all the stems, since it doesn't have any green to get energy its been very slow.
To my surprise, new growth is showing, I don't know if its new leaves or new branches or something, but most of them are very near to the roots, how do I plant these cuttings? if there's so little root but there is leaves or branches growing can I keep them underwater? do i plant them right now, even with roots growing above new green stuff? HELP ME!!
Great instructional! Thanks.
Hi! Beautiful roots!!!
Is that lyrata ?
How about fiddle leaf fig bambino?
Your FLF leaves are gorgeous! So healthy! Love your propagation videos 🙌🏼 Would it be a bad idea to try to propagate in the late summer/early fall? (September)
Of course. Can do it any time. You just keep the glass or pot inside for 4 weeks until established. The longer the better!
DUDE i love your acount lol
HEY NICK HOW IS THAT FIDDLE PLANT DOING DID IT GROW ALL RIGHT LET ME KNOW I JUST BOUGHT ONE. THANKS NICK.
You are so sweet!! Thank you!
Pretty awesome video
Great tutorial video. Glad to see you incorporated a progress update too which is what people want. Have you ever tried propagating the variegated Ficus Lyrata?
Hai Nick, your plants r very nice can you show your potting mix
Awesome video
Thank you I have a fig I'm going to try and give it a go
Thank you :)
Saludos desde México. Me gustó mucho tu vídeo
I've never bought a Fiddle Leaf Fig because my local plant shop is kinda shady and it always looks like they just cut the end off a fully mature branch and just speared it into the soil. Like, the lowest few leaves are literally half buried under the soil.
Your leaves are so green and perfect! My new leaves get tiny red/brown dots on them. Do you know why?
Mine gets those too I tried to Google reasons and came up with a few. Have you just repotted? Mine still does it but less now and when the leaf is fully grown you can barely tell. I also did spray for pests as I did find a hungry caterpillar a couple times and small spiders so that may have helped but not sure (Mine is outside on the porch)
The red spots on growing leaves are normal, they will dissappear, don't worry :)
Love your video! Thank you! Sooo, please tell me what’s the best soil, fertilizer, to use, does it need brighter light or medium, low? Mine is dying and it was a gift from my husband I don’t want to loose :( thank you!
This is too cool! Would it be possible to send you a picture of my fiddle leaf fig? I’m pretty sure something is wrong with it but I’ve heard I can still propagate.
Good job! Thanks.
Update please, did your plant survive??
How long after planting the propagated leaves with their roots will there be new growth and will the new growth come from the stem or the roots from the cutting?
It does produce figs. They don't seem edible tho. Have gigantic fiddle leaf figs growing on the lane outside our house.
How is your fiddle doing? Please post an update!
Thank you very much for the video. It’s very impressive. I recently got a problem with my fiddle leaf fig. Mine is about half meter tall. And recently it grows small leaves on top and then it turns yellow and falls off. This happens for a few leaves already. have you experienced the same problem?
adorei o video,vou usar a técnica para propagar a minha... because I wanna much more ficus in my house. thanks
It's really helpful...
Thank you that was interesting
I have a healthy, happy fiddle leaf fig that is about 8' tall. However, I now have second trunk/sucker that is almost as tall. can I propagate the sucker into a new plant?
I bought a FLF all the leaves suddenly fell off what shall I do 😢😢😢 pls help... Tnx
Rowena Latorre me to 😢
Can you please post an update video of how this plant is doing?
Thank you for this! ^^
I really enjoyed the video...thank you. Did you only use water to root the stem? No other fertilizers? Just wondering if I can just use water....
Hello! I enjoyed your video. I just got a fiddle leaf fig cutting from a friend. My question is do I need to change the water at all? If so how often? Or leave it until I start to see roots?
Hello Nick you resemble my sons who are not interested in growing plants. I’ve watched several videos and I just subscribed to your videos. I really love to propagate anything that will grow and give me another plant. I mainly propagate outdoor plants though. If you could please propagate some of the plants that are harder to grow would be awesome. I need to air layer my FLF Tree because one of the trunks are shaped in a “Y” and doesn’t look very good. I’m scared to air layer propagation because I’ve never done it I’ve only seen it done. Have you Air Propagated before??? Maybe you have a plant is in the same way and need you to Air propagated. Anyway I love the videos and feel like I’ve learned something watching you. Thank You, keep PROPAGATING I love to learn and reep the benefits. ✌️ TJW
Nice brother ♥
Great vid, thanks
omg, i need help just caring for them. i try to keep them alive but killed my fiddle leaf fig quickly. of course at home depot they werent much help. it was inside during snow storm period is when i bought it. but it just turned yellow and brown and no matter where i put it- it just never stopped deteriorating.....
My fiddleleaf fig dropped all the leaves off its branches and began growing new leaves on the main trunk. Could I cut off and propagate the bare branches, even though there aren’t any leaves?
Hey Nick. I once tried to propagate ficus lyrata in the water just like you did but I didn't get any roots coming out even after a month 😭 Did you use any root hormone? Am I doing it wrong? What possible reasons you could think of??
Great video! I will definitely follow you.
