Hi I'm Tela, I live in Middle Georgia, I saw your channel last year and guess what? IT WORKS!!! Being new to figs, I purchased trees, thinned them and now I have 2 of each.. I bought 8 varieties, and now I have copies of each... Think about it.. makes total sense, in the summer, it's EASY, the heat is there. All we have to do is let the figs loving the heat so it's job ❤.. Most order expensive cuttings in the winter, and struggle with heat mats and greenhouses, your just doing it on the plants natural time to root. ❤
@@twiggshomestead6497 I'm learning so much following you, you're not using huge words trying to be an expert, you're just showing an easy simple way, and the proof is right there... I do have a question ❓. Why don't you cover your air layers in tin foil ? I'm going to do my first one this year and why does everyone use Reynolds wrap and you don't?
Yes, Muck water is the key>>>>Nasty green water>>this is how i always propigate my trees>>pawpaws are easily done with branches that way>>The green muck water draws the roots out>>>Set it and forget it is the key
I have been taking the fig petioles with leaves which I cut in half, putting them in rooting hormone, and sticking them in potting mix in a cup (wet soil) and then place a cup over it. Tape it together and in 6-8 weeks I have rooting fig cuttings.
Very nice! Yes it does work! I was amazed because no one really talks about this when discussing figs. I live in NJ where it gets really humid over the summer so that is likely what helped keep my leaves hydrated and happy throughout the rooting process. Using a dome vs no dome will probably be my next experiment. Thanks for watching!
@@twiggshomestead6497 I'm in Zone 5. It's hot and humid now (high 80s days with high 60s nights and 70F dew points) but once this heat wave passes I might have to put them into a rubbermaid container to increase the heat and humidity. Maybe put the container on my mulch pile for bottom heat (the mulch pile has a core temp of 105F).
A big branch from one of my favorite trees broke after a storm yesterday so I'll try this out. I actually removed all the leaves, hopefully it still works.
Dan foster youtube channel does softwood fig cutting it good to see various content providers experience . This method is easier than Dan's . I goin to give this method a try
Tried this three times and didn't have any success. First time I screwed up and put them in sunlight so my bad. The second and third time the cuttings would produce little white bumps but no roots and more than a few went slimy and rotted. Maybe this method doesnt work for the type of figs I have, which I believe is Italian Honey variety.
The white bumps were a good sign! They were almost there. You might have to change the water a bit more. I am going to further this experiment and use an air stone next. It very well could be the variety. Don't give up! Try again! "The only people who don't succeed are those who stop trying."
Im actually doing a update to this now! It's taking about 4-6 weeks to do to show results but I'm doing 3 different methods to propagate green actively growing fig trees.@@larawines4875

Just discovered your channel, thank you for this video! Do you leave the rooted/cutting in the pot until the following year and then plant in the ground?
Amazing thanks for finding me! Yes, I transplanted the rooting cutting into a pot for the fall to continue rooting well until it went dormant, I then overwintered the dormant potted cutting in a non-heated greenhouse to keep it dormant, then transplanted to the ground the following spring.
I was just recently making some cuttings and left the leaves in the wheel barrel unintentionally. They dried out in the hot summer sun over a few days and when I revisited, I was shocked at the wonderful aroma they had. Maybe I’ll try to make some herbal tea from them.
These did fantastic and actually were either sold, gifted or up potted into larger pots and are still roaming around the homestead here. Thanks for tuning in Lara, your like the Twiggs homestead MVP!
Not sure this is legit , if you screen shot it before and after it’s the same background same time of day and every plant is the same size, and he’s wearing the same shirt with ear plugs
Lol it’s legit I promise. I’m not here to deceive at all. I always have ear plugs on and the plants don’t grow when no root system. They use their energy to generate roots.
Check out some of my newer videos! I have been trying to make an effort to keep them short with more edits/cuts. It's a learning process :D Thanks again for the feed back. @@rubygray7749

Exactly! Glad it worked for you! I do this every year now.

This is excellent, I always wondered why I couldn't find anyone doing this. Other plants root in water. Thanks!
Good job Mike 👍
Thank you Youssef! I hope all is well!
Brilliant video on doing propagating some figs this way, so pleased this ce up in my field.
Thank you!
Yes, Muck water is the key>>>>Nasty green water>>this is how i always propigate my trees>>pawpaws are easily done with branches that way>>The green muck water draws the roots out>>>Set it and forget it is the key
Thats one way to put it lol.
I haven't had sucess with muck water or clean water . I will try again
have you done a video of rooting pawpaw in water?

Very interesting! Something to look forward to next summer.
Thanks for watching!
Super cool. I found this after I plopped a couple green cuttings in water to see what happens!
how are they doing?
YES ! ... Definitely I`m going to try this method ! Great idea, THANKS ! 👍👍👌🙂
Do it!! Check back in with your results!
great video, thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks

Nice. Its been 9 months how are they did they do well?
Oh yeah! I gave all of these away to friends and family. I have multiple buckets going right now!
Did you do an update video?

Save the leaves and dry them for tea
I was just recently making some cuttings and left the leaves in the wheel barrel unintentionally. They dried out in the hot summer sun over a few days and when I revisited, I was shocked at the wonderful aroma they had. Maybe I’ll try to make some herbal tea from them.
Thanks for this product suggestion, I've been looking for a good one ---> "Mykos Pure Mycorrhizal"
Good luck!
Is this what’s referred to as tissue cultures?
no not really. that is done in more of a sterile laboratory setting with a lot less plant material. this is sort of aquaponics.
Any update on these?
These did fantastic and actually were either sold, gifted or up potted into larger pots and are still roaming around the homestead here. Thanks for tuning in Lara, your like the Twiggs homestead MVP!

Far too many waffly words for the content. Try to stick to a script and a deadline.
Thanks for the wise words! Learning every day.
