| Hey all, I've got a very straight trunk Willow Leaf Ficus that I want to air layer. My question is, when is the best time to do this with tropicals? I feel dumb asking it, but I am no expert with tropicals. Thanks everyone!

| Theoretically it shouldn't matter if it's been indoors, but I personally would like to wait until spring. Unless a tree has been grown only under artificial light it would still be aware of longer or shorter light days and will respond differently. |

| Thanks Larke! I figured that I should wait. The tree isn't all that healthy either. I just can't stand lookings at it. I wanted to air layer it now, so that it does not die. It has a lot of dead branches. |

| Air layering a sickly tree in the dead of winter sounds like a surefire way to kill it. I would wait until warm weather and work on getting the tree in better shape in the meantime. Jack |
