Just let it take over. That or be addicted to pruning.<br /><br />@Phillip, I'd be scared it would take over outside but I guess the winter would solve that problem. I bet you could just grow it bare root in a jar of water and add fertilizer occasionally.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757110538056043095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-63422561314589219602010-12-13T10:15:12.682-05:002010-12-13T10:15:12.682-05:00I really love this plant although it isn't ver...I really love this plant although it isn't very hardy here and I've never tried growing it indoors.Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-5521761184844122292010-12-12T20:53:17.952-05:002010-12-12T20:53:17.952-05:00I've had the exact same experience with Ficus ...I've had the exact same experience with <i>Ficus pumila</i>. Mine's not completely dead, but I don't know what to do with the part that's left: it'd be a good terrarium plant, except that it would overrun a terrarium too fast to be worth planting.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.com
