Dear Sirs,

maybe it is worth to make an incision in the lower (inner) place of a root
curve? It will make a root thinner and more flexible, however saves the
thick look. Optically ;-)

I am from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Figs grow indoor only.

Thanks,
Vladimir.

Of course, if the removal of the thick roots would leave you
with no other rootage, this procedure could not be used.

Hmmm, I don't like to disagree but a statement of such definitive
certainty is almost crying out for someone to do so

Depending on where you are Vladimir, you could probably remove the
roots completely and treat the plants as cuttings, repeating this
process untill you get the thickness or the root formation that you
desire.

Others will comment on this I'm sure.
