If any one attempted the propagation of F. krishane, I shall be happy to have the details.

I have tried through cuttings, but not succesful. After going through some literature I found that this sp. can be propagated through seeds only.

 

Photos are avialable in the following link.

We have a very long thread of F. Krishni existing on eflora site. Rather that was atopic of discussion then.
I don't know how to find old threads, and may not get time to search. Pl go through it. It explains about propagation too.

Try air layering for Ficus propagation. 

We had success with most of the Ficus species around us in Kerala.
