Ficus binnendijkii 'Amstel Queen' is a very attractive plant and a new addition to the landscape industry of the area. To optimize the propagation technology for this important plant, a study was conducted to see the effect of rooting media on the root initiation and development in two different types of cuttings (hardwood and softwood). Five different rooting media were used including silt, sawdust, rice husk, leaf mold and control (soil + silt + FYM at 1:1:1 ratio). It was surprising that the hardwood cuttings did not produce roots in any media. The data recorded on the softwood cuttings revealed that the quickest sprouting (16.7 days) occurred in cuttings that were planted in sawdust. The cuttings grown in leaf mold produced maximum leaves (7.0), which were the longest (20cm leaf length) with maximum leaf area (84.7cm2) and maximum roots (15). However, the leaf mold produced minimum root length (12.7cm) and weight (1.7g) and took comparatively longer time (22 days) to sprout. Plants grown in silt produced longest (23.7cm) roots and maximum root weight (5.3g) but they also resulted in minimum leaf number (3.3) and shortest leaves (13cm).
