How to grow starlight ficus cutting / Moon star ficus

Starlight ficus is very attractive plant because of its color combinations of green and white, because or its color combinations the plant become costly, so let's start with the process of propagation, which is cost free and give us the new plant with the same mother plant or easily make multiple plant from a single plant by successfully growing it from cutting.

Just have a look on video :- Grow from cutting

Basic rule to follow is to follow 3 points:-

1] How to propagate
2] Soil mixture for propagation
3] Giving right environment to cutting

  • How to propagate starlight ficus


1) Take a healthy plant with lots of branches
2) Choose the best branch which can be grown through propagation process
3) make the soil mixture where we will grow cutting







  • HOW TO MAKE SOIL MIXTURE


1) Firstly - soil mixture must be rich in neutrants
2) Content - the 50 % part will be the soil rich in neutrants & 30 %  part will be coco peat & 20 % part will be the sand for better drainage system
3) Now mix well and get a small pot with the good drainage system, apply a cover at the drainage hole so that the soil mixture doesn't come out and now add the soil to the pot.

4) Now choose the best branch for new pot and cut the branch with the sharp cut .
5) keep the branch in the water so that the branch does not dry out

  • Giving right Environment

1) Starlight ficus is the ficus which is more sensitive to the sunlight and water so giving the right and light sunlight IS VERY IMPORTANT

2) Water given to the starlight ficus will also play important to the propagation and growing cutting so give water only when the pot is dried from top layer.

3) By giving right temperature and also the proper moisture to the cutting the cutting will be successful .

so these were some ideas and tips to follow for successful growing
