so not ALL my #Ficus plants are shooting out new growth, but to be fair, the ones that aren’t are dying πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ #ivebeensmokingplantstoo so i’ve decided to take a buncha pics of my growing ficuses and explain who they are in my garden.

photos are:
#FicusShivereana (named Micus in my garden πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ i let my brother-in-law name it) whose new leaf i was not personally responsible for bc it was coming in when i bought it, but the next one will be all me!

second and third pics are a #FicusReligiosa named β€œbus stop gutter near jamun” bc i found it in a bus stop gutter near a giant #MalabarPlum that i’ve harvested from beforeπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ all those new leaves are me! when i first brought it home, it had a little leaf that quickly shriveled and died. i assume it wanted to focus more energy on establishing roots in its new home. and i’m glad it did! now she’s pushing out three new leaves at once and has grown about three inches since i adopted it 17 days ago!

fourth is a #FloridaStranglerFig or #FicusAurea named β€œfound on a carrotwood tree near the bus stop” i don’t think i have to explain the reasoning for that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

fifth pic is a doozy! all three are #FicusAurea plants as well. biggest one at the top of the photo is called β€œfound on my break at work” the white-container one is called β€œfound otw to whole foods after work” and the smallest one actually grew from the roots stuck in the sidewalk after taking β€œotw to WF” so has been aptly named πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
i’ve added the #BohdiTree as the plant for this post bc it’s my favorite at the moment hehe #FicusGang #FicusFam #NewGrowth #Ficus
0ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 11 months ago
since i posted this THREE DAYS AGO the smallest leaf of the religiosa has doubled in size and it’s already put out another and is growing another spike
