- This fig tree is a rooted cutting from my I-258 fig tree. I-258 produces large, syrupy figs, and I-258 fig trees are extremely vigorous. #figtree #figtrees #figcuttings #propagation #figs
I just planted two new fig trees a couple of weeks ago. I actually tried fresh figs for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I went right to buying two new trees.
I just received some cuttings. Wish you had a fig cutting give away. I love different varieties of figs. I use perlite and vermiculite. I took the cuttings put rooting hormone powder and cut drainage holes in the cup. Then placed a second cup to hold the water n drink as they want. I have a deep clear tote and it sits closed to give lots of humidity to the figs. It is in my screen room and sun twice a day. Sun is strong in SC. Within 1 week I got almost all to grow leaves. One is growing a fig? Should I cut it off? Not growing from top- side of cutting. Then I have old yeller and they don’t seem to be growing. I am leaving them to see if they root with no leaves. Is there anything I should be doing? Your advice is amazing
Contrary to popular belief cool temperatures are preferable to grow roots from a cutting than warmer
Depends on the plant and how cold
I brought in a sweet potato plant for the winter to see if i could save it. I thought it died. I made sure it had some sun. Now its growing leaves like crazy. I wont have to buy another one. Same thung with my peacan trees that the squirrels planted in my front yard. I have 5 seedlings now!!!
Good to know!
Thanks!
Thank you for your support and generosity! I appreciate it ❤️
Good things come to those who wait! What is better than a fig?
TWO FIGS!!
Was it moist the whole time or did the top dry out some? Surprised it didn't rot like some of your previous cuttings
figs are super easy!
It looks great😊👍
Sweet!👍
So do you need sun for then to root? I’ve seen people use the fig pop method.
I have a chocolate Mimosa that I was trying to are layer it did start growing from new buds but no roots so I ended up cutting it off and I'm trying to get it to root in water or should I use sphagnum peat moss or coco choir
I have a cutting that looks exactly at the same stages and im not sure if it has roots or not. Its been chillin for like 3 months now
What was the temp in the sun room?
Question- I live in Ontario Canada and I want to plant my warm season veggies early instead of mid May (2 weeks after frost). I was thinking I’ll put in some floating row covers made of perforated polyethylene. Given that temperatures in April are 12degrees to 5 degrees Celsius, do you think I could start planting in April with this system in place ? Veggies in question are tomatoes melons eggplant etc. ps our April’s are sunny
Green cutting in coir with humidity dome rooted in two weeks end of May first part of June no hormone powder either.
Did you have to water it during those months?
It won’t root in a dry medium.
Some fig varieties take much longer to propagate then others.
My fig cuttings and fig died over winter it was an Olympian fig said it could survive my zone 6b but I tried to take cuttings in the late fall so idk 🤷🏽♀️ if I accidentally killed it
If you do this in the hotter months you can have this growth in about 2 weeks
yes. I got roots in perlite in warm and humid conditions in a very short time.
How long before you get fig nutons?
Fig Newtons don't taste anything at all like figs. They're truly nothing alike. I wouldn't be surprised if "figs" were the 7th or 8th ingredient on the list in those weird things.
How long before you should reset it?
What do you mean by reset?
@@TheMillennialGardener take it out, check for potential for rot, maybe reup on hormone if one uses that or honey or hwtaever one uses and start over fresh again
will it produce figs .
are there male and female fig trees?
Yes, it is a clone of one of my trees. Yes, fig trees are either male or female. Only female figs are edible. Male fig trees are simply fig wasp hives that produce pollen.
@@TheMillennialGardeneroh no 😮 how do you know what you have?
@@Shivermetimbers90it’s a clone of a good producing female variety
was the temperature so low that it took 100 days to become only like that?
My sunroom is unheated, and it has EZBreeze windows, which are vinyl, so it only holds warmth when the sun is beating in it. It won't freeze in there, but it usually spends the 12 hours of darkness sitting at 40-45 degrees. In the day, it usually warms up to 60-80 degrees, depending on how sunny it is, so the average temp is somewhere in the 50's. Still, it rooted. It just took a long time, and the cool temps obviously preserved the unwrapped cutting.
Have you tried rooting a Jaboticaba this way?
That is not a plant I can grow where I live.
@@TheMillennialGardener Tku anyway.
Wanna know how to organically root it 99% faster
They root much much faster in the spring or fall..
But then you won't have any figs in the summer. If you root your cuttings in the fall, the trees will be ready for transplant in March. That's the key to getting same-year figs.
@@TheMillennialGardener ahhhh, makes sense.. sometimes when you have a ton of garden failures, you just need that quick gratification lol 🤦🏾♂️. I must be patient!
Can i have one lol
