Well… we’re a little over 1 month into round 2 of my fig cutting rooting journey. Round 1… we don’t have to talk about round 1. But I did learn a lot from the failures that came from the first go around. This time, I’m using a lighter, more porous mix. Porous? Not sure if that’s the right word. Good ol’ Pro Mix HP. I also didn’t saturate the mix as much to start out. So far so good. It’s killing me not knowing if there are any roots forming yet. I gave the LSU Tiger that has started to leaf out in the middle a little tug. There was 0 give. So I think that’s a good sign? I’m just hoping to have at least 1 cutting survive to the Spring. Almost there 🤞

Looking good. Do you put the lid on to keep it little humid.
 
You could leave that lid on for a while longer, but since you took off the lid already, I would highly suggest you parafilm your other fig pops, to prevent dehydration before they get through their critical stage.
 
Sheesh...I have lots of failures my first year rooting, good thing was I bought a bunch of cheap cuttings.
Mostly Celeste.
By yr two...I was rockin it.

Just figure the first year is R&D. :)

Best of luck to you.
