HOW TO GROW A FIG TREE FROM A CUTTING: PART 4

SO THE CUTTINGS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ROOT IN GREEN MOSS ARE FINALLY READY TO BE TRANSPLANTED INTO CONTAINERS. I AM ONLY PLANTING THE CUTTINGS THAT HAVE ENOUGH ROOT GROWTH. THE WAY I LIKE TO JUDGE WHETHER A CUTTING IS READY IS BY LOOKING AT THE ROOTS. IF IT HAS LOTS OF THICK LONG ROOTS IT IS READY.

I AM PLACING THE CUTTINGS IN RE-USED CLEAR PLASTIC COFFEE CUPS FROM STARBUCKS. THESE CUPS SEEM TO WORK WELL AND THEY ARE FREE. THEY ARE A NICE CLEAR AND THICK PLASTIC. JUST DRILL A FEW HOLES IN THE BOTTOM AND ON THE SIDE OF THE CUP TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN.

I' AM PLACING THESE CUTTINGS IN A SOIL MIXTURE OF PERLITE, VERMICULITE, AND PEAT MOSS. THIS BLEND IS USE TO SPROUT VEGETABLE AND FRUIT SEEDLINGS FOR COMMERCIAL FARMS THE COMPANY THAT MAKES IT IS CALLED SUNSHINE PREMIUM VERMICULITE. THIS SOIL MIXTURE SEEM TO WORK VERY WELL FOR ME.

DON'T FORGET TO LABEL YOU CUTTINGS THAT WAY YOU DON'T GET CONFUSED AS TO WHICH VARIETY YOU HAVE.

I HOPE THIS VIDEO HAS HELPED YOU AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.
