| I bought this plant. Can I take a shovel and cut it in half to make two as I have with many plants.Second are there any problems with it. It makes me nervous that ficus is in the name. I plan to put it in the ground outside of a large pot that will have a rose in it. Thanks |

| I don't know about cutting it in half, but I have green island ficus and they are maintenance free for me. They are slow growers unlike many other ficus. What makes you nervous about these plants? |

| Ficus are such water hogs. I don't want anything else stealing water like the neighbor's nasty ficus tree. |

| Green Island Ficus are not water hogs nor do they send out an invasive root structure. Pretty much a well-behaved shrub that has been used to a great extent in commercial landscaping. |
