Fantastic! Thank you for this great information

[@robertoness142]

Great video, i think it would be useful to not remove choco in the transplant but maintain the same medium just around the roots (chococoir) to avoid the shock of transplant and then put compost etc to fill the pot.

[@velocecarriola9214]

It has been 3 weeks since this video and I tried this method out, I have a 100% strike rate, extensively visible roots on all cuttings seen through the side of the tote/container. I have a dozen cuttings prepared as suggested in the video in pure coconut coir in a clear plastic container on top of a propagation heat mat which i lightly mist as needed. Will be many more weeks before I transplant them. in only 3 weeks! Thanks for sharing such valuable advise, great videos.

I have used this method with great success 1) Must wrap cuttings with Parafilm 2) Temp should be 72- 78 degrees 3) use good sterile potting media ( coco choir ) 4) water sparingly, less is usually better. Thank you Mr. Sacadura ! ! ! !

[@lsfg07]

Fantastic video again! This season I potted up 18 cuttings and 17 were successful. I used a large aquarium as an incubator/greenhouse, to try and keep the temp at a consistent 23-24 degrees. It was a great experiment and I had pretty good results for my 2nd attempt at rooting cuttings... I have gone from 2 fig varieties to 8 this year 😁 I hope I can travel back to Portugal next year so I can bring back some cuttings from my grandfather's properties, so I ca try those here in Canada as well.

Una gran labor de investigación y divulgación. ¿A partir de cuanto tiempo y cada cuánto es necesario abrir la caja? Recientemente me han salido hongos con una humedad muy leve en la fibra de coco. Gracias!

[@JSacadura]

Lo ideal es abrir la caja con alguna frecuencia (se puede abrir incluso una vez al día, por algunos minutos) para evitar concentración de humedad en demasía sobre el coco y el desarrollo de hongos. Pero, si no se abre por una semana y surgen hongos, el parafilm va a evitar que damnifiquen los esquejes.

Be sure to provide a diluted fertilizer in some of your waterings, Vivienne, and let the cuttings grow a few more weeks. You will find out that the resulting new plants are much more resistant to the potting medium and much more tolerant to those new conditions.

Great video, will do exactly your way. I’m wondering, how do you combat gnats in the soil as they are always my problem. Thanks.

[@JSacadura]

Gnats don't adapt very well to pure coco coir. They cause much more problems in the soil (when up-potting). And you can control them using several techniques (sticky paper, diatomaceous earth on top of the pot, avoiding contaminated compost or sterilizing soil mixes, etc..

what kind of potting soil that we should use to transition from coco coir?

[@DanielVeillard]

I wonder if one of the advantages is that the extra weeks in coir allows for the cal at the cut to complete sealing, as a result you can then water fully after repoting without bacteria invading from there and killing the cutting. Thanks again for the very informative video :-)

JSacadura, Have you ever tried layering in the coming .media itself? You could attempt to place your coco or peat near the entry point where you initially insert the cutting and your potting mix at the other end. Let the cutting grow into the potting mix. Basically, its what you ha e done when you uproot the cutting, but start out that way instead.

Hi. I love your videos. Thank you. What was the air temperature when you ran these trials? I want to try 10-11 weeks like you but it is cold in my basement and will use bottom heat and a controller. I want to use a similar temperature as your video. Thank you!

[@JSacadura]

Sorry for the late reply. I usually start my cuttings inside a greenhouse and try to maintain them at 20º C (68ºF) (at least). Its best to use bottom heat and keep them around 25ºC (77ºF). Beware that with higher tempeartures mold is most likely to develop. So, the use of Parafilm to protect the cuttings is important. If its not used, keep the moisture levels controlled, aerate the boxes once a day and remove any mold as soon as it appears.

[@nkc9788]

Thank you

[@stevedagro8748]

Where do you get your sturdy square tree pots. Also, just potted 9 cuttings that rooted beautifully using the coco coir after just 3 weeks. Have about 25 cutting just lying on moist sand for over a month. Is it possible to transition these to the coco coir method. Thanks in advance.

[@JSacadura]

Search for "Tall Tree Pots" or "Deepot Tree Pots" and a few vendors will appear. Regarding the cuttings - it's not a good idea to change medium mid rooting unless they have no roots.

[@cap2c484]

Thanks for another great video. I wonder since you keep the lid closed at the beginning and then mist after removing the lid, is the parafilm really necessary?

[@bytemuncher1]

Realize this is an old question but answering this for others who may be interested. He uses parafilm to prevent dehydration. Unless you have super low humidity I don't think it's necessary. On the flip side if you have super high humidity and no air flow then you have an environment conducive to mold and fungus growth which parafilm can help prevent.

im curious of when is the best time to start cuttings.

[@merquiadessanchez8185]

Thank you so much for this great video. I live un Dominican Republic and I have not been able to find Parafilm anywhere. What should I use since I can not find the Parafilm?

[@JSacadura]

Parafilm is not absolutely necessary when rooting cuttings. You can achieve the same results by maintaining a humid atmosphere when rooting, like a mini-greenhouse, to avoid dehydration of the upper part of the cutting (that's the main goal of the parafilm). Parafilm also prevents fungus development on the cuttings. Even if the fungus starts to develop on the box, it can't pass the tape and reach the cutting. Without parafilm, its important to open the rooting box more frequently (for instance, once a day for a few minutes) to avoid fungus development.

You can do it indoors in the winter with dormant cuttings. Just be sure to apply bottom heat when rooting. You can also do it in the spring with stored dormant cuttings.

It really depends on the coco coir brand you are using. I found out that, with most good brands, that's not necessary. But, if you have any doubts, be sure to rinse it a couple of times, as some cheap coco coir brands may even have salt, that will kill all your cuttings.

There are lots of advantages in rooting with an inert medium. The main ones are less problems with fungus and other diseases and a better control of the humidity (which is key to the rooting process). Rooting directly in the potting mix has a less percentage of success.

Have you try propagate with water?

[@basabish]

Some plants have a virus infection, Fig mosaic emaravirus (FMV), you have to get rid of them.

[@JSacadura]

Then I would have to get rid of all of them. Mosaic Virus is prevalent in practically all fig plants in a given region. Usually, its only plants that are debilitated, for some reason, that show symptoms, like cuttings that you have just rooted. Its a bit like the herpes virus in humans. As they grow, most plants outgrow the virus and get healthier and healthier, and can even show no signs of ever having the virus after a couple of years. It happened to several of the varieties I have. When I received the cuttings and rooted them, they were badly affected. Now, they are healthy plants, growing and producing well and not a single leaf has signs of the virus. The problem can be harder to solve in slow growing varieties. A Black Madeira strain that is circulating among collectors is usually stunned by the virus and grows even slower than usual. After finding a healthier strain I discarded the other one, but just because its the same fig variety.

[@Ebuzzbee]

Does this method work well for green summer cuttings as well? Have you found a good method for rooting green, partially or completely unlignified cuttings during the summer?

[@JSacadura]

Green cuttings are a bit more delicate and you have to control the humidity levels a bit better but they will also root. the problem might be to adapt the plants to the pots with the hot weather of the summer. That's will its better to root in late winter/early spring.
