I recieved this difficult plant from Cecil who told me you wont get it to grow, well Cecil was right! He rooted it from Ucdavis into a small plant , it does have a nice root system and i have tried giving it heat, cut off the leaves at one point and uprooted it and soaked the roots in superthrive nutrients per instuctions and repotted it a while back it sits under the grow light and did start growing some new leaves only to look real nasty again and them the leaves curled up and dropped and now it is starting to regenerate again ever so slowly. As a matter of fack i have wath the only few buds start to grow then die back and do the same again, it seems this type of fig plant has the hardest time with this virus of all the fig plants im familar with. I did place an order with ucdavis for some sticks of this type yes i know it will probably do the same but im retired and have lots of time on my hands to watch these plants grow or not so i keep on marching and will keep fertilizing and so forth with the ischia black i have. I did read i believe last season Herman had some luck with his as it sent out a sucker from the base i believe and he did something with this and it grew good for him.Herman if you read this and have the time can you update us about your plant and any suggestions, i cannot get my plant to even send a sucker up to try this with.
Best Health
