What to do with potentially dead Ficus Ginseng branches was created by Char_sw
Posted 6 years 6 months ago #42316I moved her to a spot that a few of my other plants enjoy, and around 3 months later she started growing new leaves in a different area.
All the branches of the original leaves appear to be dead. (Pics included) they are very brittle. Should I remove them/trim them, or leave them in the vain hope they can be saved?

True.
We didn't see any pictures, but I would wait before cutting them off.

It doesn’t hurt to leave them on until the end of growIng season and see if anything sprouts from them. If nothing does, cut them back and it will only add a little character to your tree in the future if styles correctly.
This will never be a bonsai.
