The knife must be very sharp, because the trunk of the ficus cutting pretty hard. You can be heated up a knife over a flame for several minutes. Pinch in two ways. If you are satisfied with the current height of the ficus and the escape is thin enough, cut it just below the growing point. In this case, you can make a straight cut.

Too much ficus should be trimmed differently. Determine the desired height and find a leaf or branch, which are below this point. Trim the ficus 5-8 cm above this sheet. The slice in this case must be oblique. The bottom of it is at the level of the kidneys, on the opposite side of the trunk. The height of cut should be located just above the kidney.
