How to propagate a ficus?

I recently got a ficus and he has a rogue branch growing close to the bottom that I want to remove…. How can I best do this and can I propagate from this? #PlantAddict #FicusGang #FicusMoclame #PropagationStation

You can cut your rogue branch and pop it in some water.

Can you show us which branch you're wanting to trim? Here's one that I recently plopped in some water.

I'd chop it right there, flush with the trunk. You can leaf that leaf alone or chop it off, too.
