Which Ficus species your are asking about? To our experience most ficuses
root easily during the active growth period. Even cuttings more than one
inch thick root easily. But remember to remove most of the leave before
putting it into the rooting medium. Here in India we just put the thick
cuttings in the ground during summer rains and they root within two to three
weeks.

Please let us know the place you are based at.

I have a ficus with multiple trunks that i plan to reduce next spring.
all the
trunks need to be cut down by at least half. The trunks are one quarter to
one
half of an inch thick. will the thicker cuttings root succesfully and are
there
any special requirements for these?
thanks
Aaron
