Input (English): [header] How to grow a ficus benjamina [title] Select a healthy sprig for cutting. [step] The easiest way to grow a new ficus is with a cutting from an established plant. The best cutting will be a small sprig that's at least 6 inches (15 cm) long, and with a few leaves on it. <sep> (A) The leaves don't have to be excessively long; you could simply cut them. You will also want to beware of weed whaling. (B) You can use a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) sprig, or just a combination of cuttings. [substeps] Cutting from a real fica plant usually doesn't require you to cut it whole, but some varieties of artificial ficus do. (C) You don't want the sprig to be a brand new shoot, but it also shouldn't be too old either. Look for a sprig with no damage and healthy, green leaves. (D) The main benefit to a cutting is that it won't rip or damage its leaves. Mature sweet ficus varieties have a long stem and the stem should be somewhat inward.
