Hosta Cut Leaf Show
Comments (3)It was a great show - about 600 leaves were entered. The Best in Show leaf was "Dawn's Early Light", a medium-sized yellow-ish one I had not seen before. The sale looked like it was pretty good and well-attended, lots of beautiful hostas, perennials, Japanese Maples, bog plants & ferns out there. There should be some pictures and a report at the website soon, apparently....See MoreRooting a single leaf cutting from a fiddle leaf fig
Comments (10)I have written about how to propagate fiddle leaf fig here- https://www.apieceofrainbow.com/fiddle-leaf-fig/ I rooted 4 stem cuttings and 1 leaf, shown above. the leaf did not survive, but i think it is because of competition- i planted it in the same pot as 2 other stem cuttings, which grew rapidly. the african violet leaves i rooted has grown into plants. what happens is that small bud will grow from the roots and turn into branches. i think FLF works the same =) https://www.apieceofrainbow.com/grow-african-violet/...See MoreFig cutting rooted and leafing - now what?
Comments (2)Hi, You'll find a lot of tips on potting and growing your cuttings into healthy fig trees at the Figs 4 Fun forum and also if you search YouTube videos for how to plant or pot fig cuttings. You've got a good start on your baby fig plants. I would take gallon containers and plant in those with a fast draining potting soil. Perhaps a mix of potting soil mixed with large perlite granules (not the small type as it doesn't drain well), and handfuls of pine bark mulch. Locally, I have bought an orchid type of potting mix which has the pine bark and large perlite with charcoal. I've used it mixed with some soil, although it wouldn't be as economical as mixing all yourself. After potting, the plants could be kept under a grow light or near a sunny window until they can be moved outside. After the weather warms, keep out of strong sunlight until the trees are larger. Partial shade is best, and only water about once a month as figs can't tolerate wet soil. I use a light mix of fish fertilizer, as they seem to like that. After they do well in the pots, they could be planted in ground if you choose. I'm growing my first cuttings also, and hope this info is helpful....Best of wishes with growing your fig cuttings into trees!...See MoreKalanchoe blossfeldiana leaf cuttings - Will these root?
Comments (16)Thanks, Kara. The cuttings (in the cups) are already showing signs of rooting - new leaf growth at the nodes. Absolutely nothing happening with the separated leaves laying flat on soil, though. If they were to root in four weeks, I would be thrilled. I'll try not to look again for awhile. By the way, that soil on which the flat leaves are laying has gone completely dry. Should I remist or anything? Would it involve picking up the leaves and then putting them back in place? Remist with the leaves in place? Or just leave it all dry as a bone? Thanks! Carol...See Moregrumpygardenguy
