Rooting Fig Cuttings | Are rooting hormones really needed?

Is rooting tree cuttings possible without rooting hormones? Are these hormones really essential? This rooting experiment was developed to try to respond to that question. A few cuttings of the same fig variety were rooted with and without rooting hormones while trying to maintain all the other factors the same. The results are shown in the video along with all the steps used in the rooting method.
Be sure to check my other rooting videos to collect more information and check other rooting techniques.

I did this rooting experiment with a first batch of cuttings (8 cuttings). The results shown from min. 7:00 are from that first batch after 48 days. I then decided to do a second batch of cuttings (6 cuttings) to show the procedure I used and even used the same box. That second batch with the 6 cuttings is the one shown in the first part of the video. Some users didn't notice I say (at min 7:00) the results are from the original batch and are puzzled as to why I start with 6 cuttings and end up with 8 cuttings. I apologize for the confusion but there are no tricks. Both batches used the same procedure and the results were similar between the two.

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

JSacadura, could I ask where you got that box from? I’d like to find a box like that. Thank you.

Did all 8 plants survive the up-potting? What if after some weeks there are leaves but no roots? Can the hormone be applied later?

[@tavyfavorite1149]

I grow them in water bottle. It produce lots of new leaf from the buds but no roots. But as I keep changing new water every week. roots begin to develope. No soil, no rooting hormone, no parafilm . grow indoor. I think probably work s on certain fruits cutting. Once it develop e lots of root, I transplant it into a good mix soil pot.

wow root hormones are like snake oil

[@bobaloo2012]

Great video, all information, no hype, much appreciated. I root maybe 40-50 fig cuttings every year, I just stick a bunch of them in a large pot and put it outdoors in February or so, using potting soil. About 80-90 percent root that way, no particular care except I do scrape the bottom couple of inches before potting. I'm lucky in that my temperatures run 3-8 degrees C that time of year with lots of rain, so they root slowly and no worries about drying out. Same thing with currants, goodseberries, grapes, kiwi, all sorts of plants.

[@zengrow3098]

I've tried rooting numerous plants with and without hormone... whereas I was able to root everything without using hormone, some plants such as Passion Fruit did not root while using the hormone so for me rooting hormone isn't necessary. Happy New Year JS!!! Hope your growing and harvest are even more bountiful this year!

[@JSacadura]

Thanks. Happy New Year for you to. I'm hoping for a good harvest this year. Let's see if the weather helps. Regarding rooting hormones... Plant hormones are tricky to use as the same hormone, in different concentrations, can do different things for the same plant. In the right concentration some auxins can promote root grow, but if you use higher concentrations, the interactions with other growth factors and other hormones might cause problems regarding leaf growth, for instance. The concentration that is available in most available brands usually promotes root growth in most plants but seems to decrease that same root development in others. So, testing is necessary for each plant and, as you found out, in some cases its best not to use any hormone.

[@zengrow3098]

@@JSacadura and of course the extent of what I was rooting is limited, I'm sure I will encounter an instance when rooting hormone is preferable but so far I haven't run across an issue. It's much warmer this winter than last where we had actual frost days. I'm actually able to germinate and grow things that probably wouldn't have survived in the wet and cold of last winter. I only wish I tried to grow more things than I have now. Cheers.

For a bigger box, is there any difference putting the cutting horizontally vs vertically.

[@xvx4848]

In my experience (which is VERY limited) rooting hormone turns a 20% rooting chance into a 100% rooting chance. I tried for the first time to root cuttings last year and out of 4 cuttings 1 of them rooted. With the 3 that didn't root I cut off the rotten part, put on rooting hormone, and tried again, and amazingly they all were only not still alive after all that but all rooted! 2 of them are doing phenomenal outside and have already quadroupled in size, 2 were left inside to experiment with indoor growing, and one of those died due to a fungus gnat infestation.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Devin. Thanks for the comment. If your cuttings were rotting the humidity level was probably too high. I don't have any doubts that the hormone promotes more roots. I was just trying to demonstrate that they are not indispensable to the rooting process.

[@dinbesutchannel8345]

Thanks a lot sir

[@nkc9788]

[@bonsummers2657]

Fig cuttings will make roots at each node which is submerged, in a suitable airy enough medium, so no substantial benefit for making the veneer-slices in the lower zone, nor wrapping the cutting with parafilm.

[@JSacadura]

Thanks for the comment. We simply have different experiences hen rooting fig cuttings. "Fig cuttings will make roots at each node which is submerged". I have much more roots coming from the nodes near the scrapped areas, than from the other nodes (several articles point that wounding the tissues helps in root development - and my own experience confirms it). Wrapping the cutting in parafilm helps to maintain the moisture level inside the cutting and until the buds start to grow. The cuttings that don't have the parafilm have much more tendency to dehydrate and they also get fungus much more easily so, to me, although not essential, the use of Parafilm has advantages.

[@pingpaj]

I enjoy watching your well made videos and explanations. Are all rooting hormones the same? (indole butyric acid?) Have you any experience with Gibberellic acid (plant growth hormone?) Will roots also develop if you just soak them in water? Thank you

I’m no pro by any means but from my experience, I’ve never used rooting hormones before and I have 14 very healthy cuttings with great roots on various fig varieties. Maybe I would have a bunch more if I did use it because I’ve had some that didn’t take but it seems it’s not necessary

[@JSacadura]

When I have very difficult to obtain cuttings I use it just to be on the safe side as it speeds up the process. Thanks for the comment.

Hello, thank you very much for your very useful videos and all the experience you kindly share with us.

In the winter, I root my figs indoors, in a greenhouse. They stay there until the spring. Then I bring them outside and repot them. If the growth is enough, I usually plant them in the soil before the winter (or in the following season).

The damaging cut near the first node to encouraging rooting and callusing , does that apply to most fruit tree cuttings?

[@SirGolfalot-]

I notice he isn't damaging the node, only the backside of the cutting. I cut and scratched tree cuttings and pushed them/cuttings/branches from trees into the ground outside in the very early spring. This was very soon after making the cutting. I didn't use rooting hormone or parafilm. I didn't water or feed. The soil type was loamy and drains well, in a mostly shady area. Some of the cuttings developed roots and have leaves growing 3 months later. It's been very humid this year. I think many plants will root, depending on the season, and environment. I will transplant those rooted cutting into a growing pot, and place them into my landscape next spring.

[@billalston2130]

Hello, greetings from Newberg Oregon. Excellent informative video. A question. Do you have experience using Willow water collected from Willow branches in a vase filled with water for propagation? Does using the Willow water improve rooting success because of the natural hormone secreted from the Willows? I have observed the natural treatment from Willow cuttings on Hibiscus plants I’m trying to root in a water vase. When I placed a Willow branch in the Hibiscus vase apparent bacteria in the vase appeared to have been killed off by the Willow hormones. Thank you for your comments.

[@JSacadura]

My grandfather used willow water as a natural rooting treatment. Unfortunately, the willow we had near by was cut down, so I never had a chance of trying it for myself, so I can't speak on the eventual benefits first hand. If I have the chance I will try it and I will post about the results. Thanks for the comment.

[@balkangetaway]

You can stick a branch in your water or directly in the pot where you are rooting. It's well know method in scandinavia but is it better than rooting hormones i don't know

[@billalston2130]

Update: Happy Saturday everyone. I’ve seen two distinctive changes in Cherry and Hibiscus cuttings I’ve placed in Willow water. First, the water I use is city tap water that has sat on the counter overnight to allow the chlorine to dissipate. For the Cherry and Hibiscus, each cutting moved to creating new leaf buds. Second: water was cloudy in both vases with only the cuttings. When the willow branch with initial root system and the willow water was added to both cuttings, the water cleared up! I’m no scientist, but I’m assuming the natural bactericide produced by the rooting Willow branch and related water eliminated the bacteria in the cuttings vase. Conclusion.... First: Willow water does appear to promote plant growth. Second: The addition of Willow water to the cuttings cleared up the water in the cuttings vases, me making the assumption the Willow water does indeed kill bacteria. MORE detailed information to come in the future. My plan is to use a scientific approach testing the effects of Willow water. Eventually I will expand my Willow process to include a Willow branch rooting tank so I can collect larger quantities of Willow water with rooting branches. Thanks

Sr. Joaquim, o senhor deveria ter plantado os galhos de figo sem hormônios em vasos separados. Em seu experimento, os galhos estavam todos juntos e o hormônio contaminou todos.

[@JSacadura]

Obrigado pelo comentário. Não me parece que tenha existido qualquer contaminação. Na experiência original (de notar que o que se vê no início do vídeo, apenas pretende ilustrar o método utilizado) a hormona em gel foi aplicada nas estacas e deixada secar completamente, antes de as colocar na caixa. Por outro lado, as estacas com a hormona foram colocadas na fila inferior, numa caixa com fibra de coco previamente humedecida. As estacas apenas necessitaram de ser regadas uma única vez, passadas duas semanas, pelo que é muito improvável que alguma hormona tenha conseguido ascender para a fila superior onde estavam as estacas sem a hormona e, mesmo que isso possa ter acontecido, as quantidades seriam mínimas e praticamente sem efeito. Ao utilizar vasos separados existiria sempre a dúvida se as condições de enraizamento, durante tantas semanas, se tinham mantido idênticas durante toda a experiência.

How does this method of producing new trees compare with grafting onto root stock? I mean for apples in particular. Does grafting produce a tree with vigour controlled by the root stock and does grafting onto root stock decrease the time taken to produce a young tree ready to plant out.?

[@JSacadura]

The rootstocks are used because they are more resistant to diseases and extreme soil conditions. You selected the rootstock according to the soil in your orchard. They are also selected according to productivity and size of the future tree (dwarfing rootstocks need much less space, as the resulting trees are much smaller and they can be very productive). They also may induce early production with some trees giving fruit in the second year, unlike seedling rootstock that may take 4-6 years to start producing. Most apple trees don't grow so well in their own roots, that's why the preferred method of propagation is grafting into selected rootstocks, not rooting.
