I'm looking to prune my fiddleleaf because it's gotten super leggy. Can you recommend which branches to cut and where? Also, do you have any suggestions for encouraging back budding on the branches I don't end up pruning?
you might find other suggestions in the houseplant forum ...
first thing i would do.. is google propagation .. and get some new ones started ... and if by fall.. i had one or two.. i would be done with this old feller ...
and meanwhile i would google up pruning of such... and i bet you will find some old GW/H posts about such ...
also .. when i got into the process ... i would think about repotting a severely cut back plant ...
Thought we answered this already. Cut down to about 1 ft from soil.. Place outdoors in shade for the summer. It will be renewed in about a season and a half. If you want to do cuttings, go for it but they will take a lot longer than your original plant which has roots already, and cuttings will grow straight up like a bean pole.
If you can increase your light level on this plant it wont get so leggy. These are trees that like some sun. Put in sunny window for winter.
I did that very thing to this one. Neighbors set it out. It died down from lack of water and dropped all its leaves. I cut the stems back to 3'', repotted it, watered it, and it grew to this after several seasons outside in summer:
I doubt Al will see this post. He rarely (if ever) participates in this forum.
I think you've got your answer, but, as Ken suggested, the Houseplant forum might be a better fit for further reading/searching. Your plant is a "tree" but is being grown in a "houseplant" scenario.
