islandguy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I am looking at putting in a couple hundred meters of hedge. Since sai gawli is a ficus, I am guessing it is pretty easy to propagate. Anybody know? Would stem cuttings take pretty easily? Saw on another forum that cinnamon powder works as a 'natural' rooting hormone, anybody ever try this? Thanks for any constructive suggestions.

cooked Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Never heard of it. I was a botanist. My wife knows plants very well, she never heard of it. Google never heard of it. This is why Latin nomenclature was invented, so sorry, I can't help. Try googling ficus cuttings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooked Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Right. I enjoy doing this kind of thing. IT SEEMS TO ME: (meaning this is a semi scientific guess) that you have Korean Sai, labelled as being the Bangkok name, Ficus Korea otherwise in Thailand. . Google Ixora, that is my preferred hedge, easy to prpagate and flowering all the year, that was my choice. Ficus annulata is the word we need. I think Is it this one: https://translate.google.co.th/translate?hl=en&sl=th&u=https://sites.google.com/site/swnphvksasastr54m4953/thir-keahli&prev=search and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 ไทรเกาหลี Thanks for the information. These plants would be put on the edge of the property with a neighbor next door that sprays chemicals all the time. I think the density of the ficus should work a little better than the Ixora in stopping a portion of the spray, especially since it will get tall much quicker.

samuijimmy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I have asked a few Thai people about Cinnamon, no one has heard of using it! Some use Vitamin B, which some garden shops have... I've never tried Ficus, but plants I have tried I just put in a pot or the ground and find usually takes about a month to root.... But keeping foliage damp a few times during to day is important, although the plastic bag is a good idea too! I would take off more leaves than shown in the video.
