Is this brach dead and what should I do? was created by cer

Posted 3 years 5 months ago #71748
Hi!
I've had this ficus for 6 years and when I got it I noticed that only one branch appers to be dead, but I just taught it might just be a new growing one. Till this day it looks just the same as a I bought it (it didn't grow at all, no leaves have ever grown on it). I've have other branches that I have cut off and new ones started to go, but with this brach I don't know what to do. ( don't mess anything up)
So my question is... Is this a dead branch and what should I do with it?
Thank you!

P.S. the ficus has been growing very well and never had any type of disease on it, so I'm really confused about this weird branch :(
Help.

About the dead branch, just cut it off...
Have you ever reppoted it? If you want it to grow and thrive you should consider a bigger pot for some years...
Small pots are the last thing to do, I have 6 months old ficus that already reached this size (on winter), and it's on a 3,5L ~ 4L pot... I see a glass pot... does it have a drainage hole?

That looks like a ginseng ficus (a type of ficus grafted into another type's root), most people don't consider this as a 名媛直播, however, it's possible (but very hard) to make it look like a tree, or gather material from it to start other trees.

Cut the dead branch and repot it. You can still try and save that.

Just a little dead branch. Clip it off.

You say it is growing well. What is growing well for you? A healthy ficus in summer can push new leaves every other day. (What I can see, the tree does not seem too happy)
