Plant them now, I rooted mine in just regular potting mix and after a month (november), I had roots on it. Now, it have been transplanted in a pot and it has leaves now.

My first try from my first tree - I just put the cutting in a cup of water a month ago, and now I have nubby roots, and a fig starting! I guess I should move to a pot with potting soil. Do I also dip in Rootone?

Jaz, you'll want to remove that fig from the cutting. Let the energy go into leaves, the fruit won't amount to anything anyway. It will most likely be detrimental to the health of the cutting.

OK, thx. From reading I have concluded that I should pot it in some perlite for now.

My advice is plant them now and put them under grow lights if you have them or in south facing window if you don't. You could use the 2 liter bottles if you have them. By march or april they should have a whole bunch of roots and you could plant them outside at that point. If you don't have the space for that, you could use 16 oz plastic drink cups (make sure you cut holes out of the bottom) for at least a month before they start to become root bound. But don't leave them in the sphagnum because before long you will just have a big tangled mess of roots and it will be nearly impossible to separate them.

Good luck,

Awesome post! Finally someone complaining that the fig cuttings are growing TOO FAST! Just, wow. I don't do it your way, but I am going to use your method next time.

You rock. Thanks for the information!

I have only tried doing cuttings once and I just stuck them in water in an old milk container placed it in the shade and in a couple months I had great roots. I did not do anything except make sure the water kept a good level. I did wait until spring with winter temps getting just above freezing a few times with no damage to the branch or the roots.
