Just to expound on the mold, WASH, your fig cuttings, something a lot of these influencers aren’t telling you, don’t worry a little drop of detergent in a cup of water with baking soda won’t kill them, take a soft bristle toothbrush and use the solution to scrub end to end, and rinse thoroughly. Then dry and spritz alcohol over it. I also sterilize my sand, and before even starting I wash my containers with detergent first, then wash the inside with a mild bleach and water solution. That will knock down your chayote mold substantially. If your region doesn’t have a problem with mold then more power to you, please plant as you choose. I simply like to flesh out parts of propagation that people either glaze over or just flat out don’t tell people for whatever reason🙄 Because I know having plant cuttings shipped isn’t the most convenient thing in the world and I like to see people get their money’s worth & DONT rely on people from CZcams, please research for yourselves because not one of these people on YT will tell you every detail on what they did to achieve success with their plants.
Thank you!
Sounds like I need to start a channel.
Been thinking on it for weeks. I have over 100 species of plants and trees (40 strains of cannabis too)
Just the facts people
@lemurai how do you sterilize the sand?
@@gianfrancopaladino961 I'm guessing that it's rinsed with boiling water.
You can bake it in the oven at 350 for an hour or rinse with alcohol.@@gianfrancopaladino961
Speaking as someone who has rotted numerous cuttings by overwatering in potting soil, coir and peat moss, this looks like a great method. Definitely using this method this year. Thanks for sharing.
Yep....I too have lost a lot of cuttings because of over-watering...hundreds of them!
This is fantastic and I can’t hardly believe how fast it worked. I have fig, mulberry, peach and pear ALL sprouting and rooting! Now I need to see what to do next…how you transfer to pots when there’s root spouting all over.
Look forward to hearing your progress.
How are they doing now?
I was just about to ask if this works with other cuttings or just figs. Great to know! Thanks for sharing both of you. 😊
Any updates?
I grow them in vermiculite and pearlite. In little cups with holes at bottom n inserted in another cup to hold water. I would love more cuttings. So many of my neighbors left their fig trees back north when they moved. I am trying to get them figs to grow and I love growing them n potting them. I give them away to others. Hoping one day I can help feed our homeless populations with a free bag of figs..
I didn’t think about that…..
I can’t imagine how many trees are dying with homelessness, people moving, and mass eviction (imminent domain by the Fed Gov. in much of the country area); if we gathered together and more people took an active collective interest, imagine how much food we would have to give away….. ; )
Glad to see that Toby Maguire got into the fig business
Aw comon, show us a backflip spidey.
@@samanthabaird3567yea just with blonde hair lol
I didn't see it until you said that. Now I can't unsee it. I subscribed because of this
I sterilize my sand by putting it in a baking tray and put it in the oven at 225 for 1 1/2 hours. Every 30 minutes I will mix up the sand to make sure it all getting up to temperature. Take it out and let it cool off completely then start using it. I do this every time before I put a new batch to propagate in the sand to keep bacteria away from the new growth and wood. I don’t go as far and scrubbing the cutting but I do spray them with rubbing alcohol right after I cut them and then before I dip them in rooting hormone I will let them soak in water mixed with hydrogen peroxide about 3 parts water to 1 part hydrogen. Sand is definitely a superior method for propagating cutting then any other medium that I have tried!
I put some mulberry cuttings in moist sand on a heating mat 3 weeks ago. There are no roots but it looks like they are starting to make little berries.
Should I remove those so they can focus on root development? Thanks
Not heat? Would you mind shearing what temperature are they rooting in? Thank you
The problem with this is that the cuttings and leaves are so used to the humidity, that when you transplant you have to keep them in a humidity dome for awhile or else the leaves will wilt and die.
What planting zone are you? Just saw your short how do you pruned for winter. I bend them and cover with leaves. But your way, to cut them off is better, easier to cover. Any way if I have breba, it’s very few
Thank you. Thank k you. Thank you !!!!This method truly works. I had tried rooting powder. I tried putting cuttings in water. But after trying this method, the cutting rooted. Beautiful strong roots.
My question is how long can the cuttings be kept in sand this way, before they can be planted in soil?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
When new leaf growth starts commencing you can place them into soil and allow them bright indirect sunlight. If you place them in full sunlight they will scorch.
@@PlantFanaticsthank you for your response. I continue to be excited . Your clear straight forward instructions clearly helped me.
Just want to know if I can use clear plastic containers or does it have to be solid colour
Who doesn’t need a million fig trees? 😅 thanks for this technicke, I’ve been rooting figs for years in soil pots, and just started testing this method 🙏🏽when this works out, remember me to invite you to see our million fig trees in Tenerife ❤
How do you know when it’s rooted if they’re planted straight up into the sand/coir ? I heard it was bad to root figs horizontally, that we should root vertically in clear cups; I prefer this method because you can see the roots in the cups;
What’s your method in propagating ? And what type of soil do you transfer them into ? Thanks ; )
when do you pot them ? would like to see a vid on that so we know how many roots are there when you pot them,thank's i am doing this ,got sand and container today
I’m curious about this too.
Would this work on crabapples, chestnut, walnut, cherry, catalpa and evergreen trees?
I will be getting these cuttings from a very special place I grew up as a child with these trees. I only get one chance to propagate the cuttings when I get them. These trees are very dear to me and would like cuttings from the exact ones I grew up with.
Update?
What other plants have you propagated this way.
What temperature is your garage ?
Thanks for this info
I propagate any plant typically propagated by cutting. Blackberries, raspberries, mulberries, etc. I keep them roughly 75 degrees, though anything in the mid 60s is also fine.
Would this work on a Camilla bush clipping? I’ve tried to propagate them before, but I’ve seen so much rot and had no success
Give it a try! I don’t see why not
Thanks. I will try on the new cuttings I receive this week. I hope it works. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! It means the world.
Please tell me where can I finf part 2.
Do You Have To Use A Rooting Hormone Before Placing Them In The Container With The Play Sand?
Absolutely not. But think of it as a great insurance policy. 😀
Can you use Rooting gel?
How are you potting these up after they have rooted as some of these are very large. I understand if you are putting them in the ground, but what about potting up for selling?
Same question
Trying this...but in the back of my mind...how fragile are those roots when it comes to potting?
Sorry to say you might be wrong here. Everyone needs 1,000,000 fig trees.
You’re right. I’ve thought about it and I was wrong. 😂
But what makes this method better than that plastic bag method you presented? Assuming it's success rate related, is the latest method vastly more successful that the plastic bag method?
What type of cuttings do you use? When is best time to cut and how do you prepare them for fridge? Is it necessary to do that step?
Do you put them in the sun or under light??
When do you transfer them to a pot? If a stick lies down like that and rooted in multiple areas, how do you pot it?
They’ll have a pretty good sized root cluster. You just fill the pot a little, stick the cutting in the middle and fill the rest of the pot up around the cutting
Hi, watch your video, and went out and got two plastic clear plastic. Will clear plastic work or do they need to be colored so the roots will develop in darkness?
No specific color nor lighting conditions. Light isn’t necessary until new growth occurs. 😀
Just went out to the garden to trim off some branch stock from my fruit trees nectarines, ( now in bags in refrigerator)I intend to start the rooting
But because I'm new at this, I have another question.whats the best way to pot them indoors after roots have grown, so I can plant them in the spring. Thinking about soil mix and fertilizer and sunlight or grow light etc
Thumbs up for the mold tip.
Do they need to be under a grow light while they're rooting? Or will they root fine in the dark?
Well he puts a lid on it and stacks them so I guess they don't need a lot of light
Will try this with Monstera Cuttings
Curious to know what, apart from figs root like these figs. Also curious to know how the leaves turn green if they’re in those opaque containers ie no light?
Raspberries, blackberries, mulberry’s, etc. anything typically propagated from cutting.
The light coming through the opaque containers is sufficient for small initial growth.
Sassafras is also propagated using root cuttings ~ so I could use this technique ?
Yes! Any plant where cutting is the preferred propagation method
No rooting hormone? If out of the danger of frost and once the roots appear, can they be planted directly outside?
We use dip and grow rooting hormone. Technically you can put them straight into the ground, but we prefer to have a solid root ball before doing that.
What is the sand that you use? Do you just get it from somewhere like Home Depot?
Yup! you can find play sand at lowes/home depot
Figs always put out leaves before they root. I would have liked to see the roots on the cuttings in that box after one week.
Why do you believe that figs always put out leaves before they root?
Not always. I've had more than a few fig cuttings put out a dunce root system that was encircling the clear plastic cup they were being rooted in without any buds swelling on the top growth. From the same tree with cuttings that were developing leaves with only small white bumps where the roots are starting to form.
When I use too much rooting hormone they will leaf out first with no roots.
Hormones are strange…..little bit goes a long way , and a lot can do the other stuff we don’t need .@@illumiNOTme326
I did this method, but all the nodes have leaves and no roots developed yet. What should I do?
Do you think this method would work with Japanese Cherry Blossom trees?
probabaly not, figs have much higher levels of endogenous rooting hormone
OMG, you are all over the place but I love it and I'm here for it. Great informative video. I'm gonna try this as soon as the crazy California rain stops.
the summer will make us miss the rain
Hey great idea sir...but one question ❓ ....will this work only with sand...have you tried it with regular garden soil....or just sun-dried garden soil..will it work on it too.. I'm keen to know..
We haven’t tried it with soil. We use sand because its moisture control is superior and microbial life is lower.
You put any grow lights 💡on those containers ??
No lights are necessary until roots form and they are potted into containers.
Very nice thanks for sharing. Just like plants, we as gardeners are constantly growing and expanding! 👍
Can I do this method with Jane Magnolia tree?
If the cuttings are taken at the right time, yes.
This is awesome cool way to make a living fence when you take down the Mulberry tree
Looks effective but I simply take cuttings in the dormant period, shove them in a large bucket of damp sand and leave them in there until they start into growth in the spring. I leave them in place until the leaves are shooting very well and I find that quite a proportion form roots by early summer. I wash the sand carefully off and pot them up. Any which have still not produced roots I put back into damp sand and quite a few more will have started to root by mid summer.
Would using a heat help or hurt?
If used correctly, help. Set between 70 and 73 Fahrenheit works perfectly well. Any hotter is excessive and can cause damage.
Ty !!!!
Is it only fruit plants to do like this ?
No. Any plant typically propagated by cutting.
Will this work for evergreen trees?
I'm no expert, but I think getting evergreen cuttings to root by any mechanism is very difficult.
Can you do this at any time of the year?
Yes, absolutely!
Can you do this to any fruit trees?
Good question
Any fruit tree typically rooted by cutting. There are some fruit trees that should be grafted due to the difficulty in the rooting process.
Can use Bougainvillea propagation?
Yes. 😀
the back and forth between joking and not joking is giving me whiplash lol i cant tell what i need to be taking note of 😭😂 were those are year old fr? did you keep them in the fridge or was that the joke?
Too much caffeine that day. Sorry. Haha, yes they are legitimately one year old cuttings, and I keep them in the fridge to continue dormancy until I’m ready to propagate them.
@@PlantFanatics thank you for clarifying! 😂🙏🏾
Where was original fig tree? Nature, beside road, etc....
There are many varieties in these bins, and therefore many original fig trees. They are from all over the country. Before that they were brought in from all over the world.
Set six or seven cuttings November 26 with rooting hormone, no signs of roots as of today... sprayed at least 4 tumes.....nothing???
That’s barely over two weeks. You have to be patient when rooting cuttings. It can take more time than that depending on each individual cutting.
What is your temperature at? What plant are you rooting?
Everyone needs a million fig trees Bud! 💙
Hahahaha, very true.
Figs are like money et guns
The more the better
Looks like you liked being pinch by the cactus
Has anyone here tried any other tropical plant cuttings with this method...? Guanabana or cacao?
You can only propagate plants that are typically reproduced easily via cuttings. Cacao are usually done by seedlings or grafting.
Time to send Justin B a fig cutting and directions on planting. Or send him a young planted fig tree. Then you won’t be lying! Lol
I like using hydrogen peroxide for mold issues.
Same.
It looks like it works great, but what a strange approach. How did yoi figure this out. Why would it even occur to someone to try this?
This method emerged naturally as a solution to several issues I encountered while rooting cuttings. It saves space and maintains high humidity for the home gardener without the need for a greenhouse. Additionally, it helps prevent gnats and their larvae, which can damage tender roots.
I used rubbing alcohol on cherry cuttings and now i getting drunk after eating those cherry's
I'm joking
didn't work for me. has been a month. they just grew mold, no roots at all.. others from the same batch planted "normally" did great.
What was your treatment to disinfect the cuttings?
@@PlantFanatics water and hydrogen peroxide
こんなに短くても発根するなら大量に複製できますね。埋めてる土はなんでしょうか？母と視聴。なう(2023/09/23 23:29:27)
It's in play sand he stated you can get this at home depot
Did this with three trays of different varieties of fig cuttings an zero results after 4 weeks.
Takes time. Sometimes it’s two weeks, sometimes it’s 10 weeks. We propagate literally thousands of cuttings a year by this method with about a 90% success rate.
I love thebway younlie to me😂😂😂😂
I don’t even know what you just said. 😂
@@PlantFanatics hahahaha, I tried.
"I love the way you lie to me😂😂😂😂"
Yet, I like the way it came out.
I guess this Justin Cleaver person joke must be a millennial thing we Gen X don't understand it !
Haha, nah we were just messing around. I appreciate you watching the corny joke. 😀
Why do u have that mean cactus in your garage? Mine are outside by the fence. They survive temps in the high 20’s once a twice a winter. Get those pricks out of your skin or you will have a painful pimple…anyway back to the video. I feed cactus to my box turtles after burning off the pricks. Happy Easter!
I like this, just kidding just tell me how
I have countless videos on the subject. This just happens to be the one you saw.
Tobey maguire
this guy is over-dramatic....."revolutionary", the torch, and the cactus in the butt.... but the method really works thou👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to see that Toby Maguire got into the fig business
?
You look like Tobey Maguire 🤣🤣 really 🕷
