How long does it take for a small Ficus lyrata seedling to grow to 1 meter
Let's talk about some common knowledge of flower cultivation, specifically how long it takes for a small Ficus lyrata seedling to grow to 1 meter. Next, the editor will introduce this.
I previously wrote an article titled "Does Ficus lyrata grow fast?" and now I find that there are more flower enthusiasts asking how long it takes for a small Ficus lyrata seedling to grow to 1 meter. I continue to discuss its growth rate based on this small Ficus lyrata plant at home. At the time, I bought a small Ficus lyrata seedling with the intention of experimentation; it was not very large, about 20 centimeters. Now it has been about two months. I have learned about its root growth and observed the growth rate of its leaves, as well as the time it takes for leaf buds to develop. Here I share these recorded details with flower enthusiasts.
This is the editor's small Ficus lyrata seedling, planted in a slightly larger pot but without waterlogging, and the bottom is empty.
Ficus lyrata has a well-developed root system. When the small seedling arrived, I did not remove the old soil for safety reasons and planted it directly into the pot. After a week, there was no change in the leaves, but when I dug into the soil, I found that the roots had grown a lot, indicating that the Ficus lyrata was in good condition. About a month later, the top leaf buds began to sprout new leaves, and at this point, the growth was very fast, with a new look every day and three leaves fully grown in 2-3 days.
The state of this bud is only one day apart from the buds at the bottom.
However, after the new leaves sprouted, a long wait began. It took about another month for the Ficus lyrata leaf buds to show signs of sprouting new leaves.
This means that the time between two leaf growth periods is about two months, which is quite slow. Some plants grow faster later on, and I have not recorded this yet. However, I have seen some growth records from flower enthusiasts, indicating that it takes about one year for a Ficus lyrata seedling to grow to about 1 meter, but this growth rate is greatly influenced by the growing environment.
It takes a month or so for a black-brown bud to grow to this size.
In summary, the growth rate of Ficus lyrata is not fast, so one must be patient and not start looking for reasons if there is no change after a month or so. As long as the plant is normal, just continue with regular care.
Additionally, if you want to use Ficus lyrata to decorate your home, I suggest not buying such small seedlings, as they grow slowly and are not much cheaper than 1-meter-high seedlings, which are about 10-20 yuan. There is no need to spend a year saving a little money.
