My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

ficus retusa - only one root

15 years ago

Probably one of those "omg is she kidding?" questions but...

So, I bought a small (about 5") ficus retusa but it only has one root (or is that the stem? or are they the same thing?). Do I have to do anything to it to get another stem/root/thingy growing?
