How to make a ficus branch out, grow symmetrically and voluminously

All lovers of indoor flowers like the bright appearance of ficus.

In addition, the fact that the plant perfectly tolerates both bright light and shade makes it desirable in every apartment - because in this case, the ficus can be placed in any corner of the room.

However, very often florists complain that the ficus grows as a half-naked or crooked tree.

Details

In order not to wait for one tall stem to grow from a flower, you should help it grow a lush and even crown.

You can do this with a simple match or even a toothpick.

In order for the plant to become voluminous and symmetrical, first of all, it is necessary to cut off the top.

After that, split the cut, and insert a match or a toothpick into the resulting gap, or, as a last resort, a wood chip, a corner or a piece of film. The main thing is that the split should not be able to grow.

After such a simple technique, the shoots will begin to grow from both sides, thanks to which the ficus will delight you with its branchiness, volume and symmetry.
