Solved I.D. help needed please

I will try both ways then hopefully i wont fail
If it turns out to be too early pete to have taken them then there is another 3 trees at work they may be keeping i can take from later,so all may work out fine sheal x

 

You can take cuttings all year round Joolz but keep them indoors, they are houseplants and being figs they like heat.

 

I only said it might be a bit early because cutting root best when the plant they are taken from is growing, and I've found even house plants do follow the seasons to some extent, due to available light mainly.

 

Would one be ok behind the tv sheal?south facing corner and its warm in here ?
Not sure daz will agree to the idea

 

One of them does have new leaves at top,i will double check the stems to to see if it new grow in the morn and take cuttings from there

 

They look beautiful if you give them a spray with a leaf shine, they will look like new plants. I would have taken one off your hands if I lived closer

 

I don't see why not but it'll make it difficult for watering.

Here is where mine stood at a north west window gaining afternoon and evening sun, it also hugged the radiator which had no effect on it when it was on.

 

Thanks yvonne They do need a clean,full of dust from yrs of neglect,they was taken out of pots today that had a capillary system in place but it was a lady from costa thats watered them for yrs as whoever was originally paid to care for them stopped coming
Ive asked her if she wants one but no reply as yet x

 

Thats a big one too sheal!
These ones have 3 trunks that are braided so they have the standard look about them,thats why i got to thinking about behind the tv,prob still wont fit though ...i really want to keep one x

 

Yep, it was close to 6ft when I ousted it.

The only way you'll be able to prune it without permanent mis-shape is to thin it out by taking branches off right back to the trunk and maybe take off a little of the top growth, but don't over do it or it will look horrible and doesn't generally recover it's shape. If you decide to prune it stick a small piece of kitchen roll on the stump until it stops bleeding or it will leak sap everywhere, it's very sticky and difficult to remove.
