Fiddle Leaf Fig Leaf Propagation: Root Ball Formed, Wait for Plantlet Before Removing Mother Leaf

Current Status

Leaf in soil with heating pad has a substantial root ball but no shoot yet. Mother leaf still green.

Remove from heating pad; place in semi-shade outdoors (or bright indirect indoors).
Open humidity bag but don't remove yet.
Do not cut the leaf off. Wait for a small stalk and leaflets to emerge (plantlet).
Once plantlet forms, mother leaf will naturally die back.

Patience is essential.
