MAXIMIZE YOUR FIG CUTTINGS: Rooting Single Node Fig Cuttings, Part 1

[@williamblack1581]

I've done alot of shorter double or single node cuttings in clean rain water and h202 treatments occasionally, and now im starting with a hardwater x h202 soak. I have had issues with greener cuttings at least with some varieties but in some the greener wood roots more easily but that also could be about higher temps near a window. I think the chlorophyll sitting in water releases easier with some, it seems evident by the water tinging with some and not with others. This looks like the solution to those issaues, especially the myco application. I do agree thinner cuttings should be left longer depending on variety but the same I would do with a longer container. Great roots! 👏

awesome can’t wait for the update

[@ktrain4996]

Excellent starts...they look real good man!

[@davehendricks4824]

Wow! I just started 3 ponte tresa cuttings. Now I see I could have doubled the number of trees and probably had even better results then I’m going to get currently using the pop method. Thanks. And I just subscribed!😁

[@thenotoriousfig]

Good luck!

Do you completely seal the lid on the container when propagating?

[@sarahfryman]

First, I tried single node a couple of them on just a wet paper towel in a Tupperware container, and they started to grow roots. Next I tried root riot rooting cubes, and they seem to be working very well with the single node Fig Cuttings. I will be up potting 1 to 2 dozen of the Rooted nodes today. Thank you for doing this video and inspiring me.

[@thenotoriousfig]

So cool!

[@FC2ESWS]

So how did these turn out? Did they all survive?

[@r1sontag]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing what you’ve learned with all of us.

[@rbee40]

Very cool. I watched the video more than once to search for the secret of success in the speed and intensity of rooting. I understood that you used single node cutting and a little sand (but I don't know if there are special specifications for this sand) and you have used rooting hormone (it would be better if you tell us your method of using the hormone rooting) and there was a little perlite at the bottom of the sand and you have used a heating mat to keep the temperature around 78 and sprinkled a little water. Is that all or there is something I didn't notice? You are great Thanks

[@thenotoriousfig]

I’ll do a “prequel” video as I’ve had the same questions from others. Thank you!

What part of the world are you in since you mentioned rooting them in December? How fresh were your cuttings? Is there drainage in your rooting container? I’d like to know more about your media, container, watering, etc.

[@thenotoriousfig]

I'm in Cincinnati, OH, in the US. Indoor rooting time is now, as all the trees are dormant in the winter and people share cuttings. These cuttings were my own, and probably sitting in my fridge for 4 weeks, but very healthy looking. As I said in video, small layer of perlite on bottom, then enough sand to cover cutting. Spray w water to wet/moisten sand. I also sprayed diluted fertilizer once a week, but not much spraying because the container stays moist.

@@thenotoriousfig thanks! We’ve got a few nice days going on so we’re going to be taking some cuttings today.

[@thenotoriousfig]

Really cool stuff. You sure have my attention

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

So I was watching PlantFanatics doing the horizontal sand propagation method, in one short he did a tiny singly node cutting, so I tried it with some of my trimmings, only they have ZERO nodes yet some are still rooting, do they have any chance to push out new growth?

[@thenotoriousfig]

No, without a node, no new tree will come of it.

[@jrichards9874]

Thanks a lot for the idea and how to vid.

[@kintetaylor234]

Is it play sand? The soil where I am is sandy can I grab that and bake or microwave it and use it?

[@thenotoriousfig]

Yes I would think so. This is play sand from big box store.

[@migz808]

Are there holes underneath the tupperware for drainage or purely enclosed? I'm about to try this method on my LSU cutting.

[@thenotoriousfig]

no drainage holes

[@douglasp2238]

How did they turn out

[@thenotoriousfig]

@@douglasp2238 all the Craven’s Cravings have been up potted

[@truthsayer6329]

At 8:08 of the video what is it that you put right on the roots?

[@thenotoriousfig]

Mykos, it’s michoriza in granular form. Avail on Amazon.

[@willemadriaannel746]

Thanks for the great video

[@hitta200m3]

Do you got any cuttings available forsale?

[@thenotoriousfig]

I'm doing a giveaway here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZPTgHmAZq2YY5I

[@DaBuDaSak]

Why didn't you put the cutting straight up and down in the little pot instead of laying it in it's side instead?

[@thenotoriousfig]

I think it was to try to fit as many roots into dirt and not have any stuck up of the dirt.

[@JuliePascal]

Did you use rooting hormone when you started?

[@thenotoriousfig]

Correction: I did use a dab of powdered rooting hormone.

[@nicolasboy1986]

Can use coco coir instead of sand ?

[@thenotoriousfig]

Maybe.

[@SKITTZ0]

Just make sure to squeeze more times after you get out the last drop of water.
