@ForFoxSake Wow! Just bought some keiki paste to try on some philos! Welcome to Greg! So glad to have you and your knowledge!
@Vinxy2 traditionally used to propagate orchids however it has similar results for most aroids. You apply a thin film of this vitamin rich paste to a growth point on your plant and it will trigger growth of an aerial root or new leaves. When applied to orchids a brand new plant grows from the node called a keiki
@AwesomePlants This is the secret ingredient from a wizard with a phd in biochemistry and biomedical sciences. Don’t overdo it especially on a small plant. A little goes a long way!
@ForFoxSake Feel free to email me at drew@plantx.co and we can figure out a time to sync up.
Also I'm ordering some of this magic keiki paste right now.

@RJG yes just train the tree to bend so the top is upside down similar to bonsai to promote new branches from the bottom nodes. Don’t bend it so much that it breaks but gradually over time. The result will be a bushier tree with multiple growth points.
@RJG use a wire hanger or bonsai wire to reinforce the bend. The tree will grow new branches without pruning or slotting as it needs the sun to survive. Very cruel looking but it works for all trees. Gradually increase the bend over time and after 2 months you should see new growth. You can start to gradually release the bend and correct the shape of the tree just as you did initially to bend it. The result will be a multiple branch ficus
Bookmarking this thread because there is a wealth of knowledge here. I think I need the sorcery paste for my Strawberry Shake philo
