Blanche de Argentuil
I got this one from @Bigbill , Off the Beaten Path nursery. Bill speaks very highly of this one, that it is among his best overall figs. He has it planted inground in a climate a bit cooler then myself. I don't think anyone would consider it rare but it doesn't seem to be very widely spread.
This rooted cutting was started about 4 weeks ago. View attachment 19487

I’ve always considered this one considering I think so highly of Blanche de Duex saisons

4 weeks, wow!
Did you start it directly in that pot?
At what point did you start fertilizing it?
May I ask what you use for fertilizer and how often?
I’m so curious!! 😁

I am pretty proud of this LSU purple I started on 11/1/25 in a fig pop. I up potted most of my cuttings to tree pots, but I up potted one in to an empty 2 liter soda bottle. It’s great to get to see the roots still and the top growth on this one is over 2 and a half feet. I also included a group shot of the cuttings under my light. There are a few other cultivars that I started in November that are as big or bigger then this one, but I am really digging the upcycled 2 liter bottle and will do more of them next cutting season.

I forgot about it when the sale started, and then it got sold out, but I saw he had it back in stock later on. I got 3 cuttings they all rooted very well.
I really like Blanche de Deux Saisons as well, I'm not sure what the relationship is between them. And where does Hative de Argentuil fall into the group?

That 1 gallon trade sized pot is what it is uppoted into.
I use a pretty different method of rooting that I've come up with that works very well for me but it runs against what many people teach.
I fertilize from the first leaf.
I use the same fertilizer I use all summer long in my fertigation system. Bulk triple 20

Would you be willing to tell us what you do? I'm still tying to figure out what works.
I've already learned that aeroponics isn't my thing. :D

That's amazing. What's your method?

One thing I've learned from this thread already is that I need to up my rooting game. Lol.

I fig popped. Can't find promix so I made my own version with peat, perlite, and mycorrhizal inoculant. Used clonex. Stuck my cuttings in a dark box next to my heater and waited. I had about a 70% success rate with that batch. Definitely room for improvement and I am learning a lot from the folks on here!

Thanks for the details. What is your fertilization schedule?
