Encourage fiddle leaf fig to branch?

7 years ago

Hi! I have a small (24 inches from top of soil), single-trunk FLF. I’d eventually like it to look a little fuller, and prevent it from growing straight up forever and becoming really top-heavy (this happened to my last FLF, about 5 years ago). I don’t mind if it looks more like a bush than a tree. So, my idea was to notch it low on the trunk to encourage branching and fill it out a little bit.


Is this a good plan? Or is there a better one? If so, should I do it this summer or give it a year to grow and try next year in June?


Thanks so so much for any advice!


-Lindsay
