Long shot for Ondata

Ok I have failed rooting Ondata twice this winter and spent a pretty nickel ( since they don’t make penny’s anymore). Anyone have have a cutting?
 
Oh man that sucks. I sadly ran out of Ondata cuttings but did put a bunch of them to root for rooted cuttings come spring/summer. She can be a tricky one to root.
 
Yes Figfather it's true, please join me in prayer as I give its the last rites. I gave it all the respect I could possibly muster, I treated it like royalty really, as it is likely the most sought after cutting I have ever owned. It was planted Dec 13th (unlucky date maybe?) in Promix HP, I even added a little extra perlite. Moist not wet soil consistency. Cutting was treated with a 10:1 water to hydrogen peroxide solution prior to being soaked overnight in clean tap water. Cutting was scored and dipped in rooting powder. Then wrapped in parafilm and buried to the soil line in a 4x4x9 container. And placed on a heat matt set at 75 F under grow lights.....I know your stock is depleted, however, if MJFigs didn't take all his Ondata cuttings to Italy, I would have tried to source new ones from him....a missed opportunity, I guess..... :ROFLMAO:

I Missed the Ondata cuttings on your sale… I was upset, so I bought your Azores Dark, Vasilika Sika, Campaniere and CDD Roja so I feel better now. 😂

This is not the news I wanted to hear…I wanted to get a picture of an Ondata tree with a fig on it with the caption…”wish you could taste this with me” lol 😂. What rooting powder did you use? I’ve found hormodin 3 to be the best one. Personally I’m a big fan of dip ‘n’ grow. How did the other cuttings do?
