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.
@@olenalanska6318 I did try it and had poor results. Lots of mold, poor rooting, even after lots of greenery. Then the transitions to lower humidity and potting are challenges. I'm going back to parafilm coating, well drained coir or peat moss and frequent watering. Though I've also had great success rooting green cuttings in the summer from my own trees.
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.
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 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….. ; )
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.

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
Mine have been in container for 2 weeks. Leaves on nearly every node but no roots. Spritzing daily/as needed. 1)Should I be removing leaves from rooting end of cuttings? 2)what do I do if roots begin to form from top to bottom of cuttings. VERY CONFUSED as I’ve never had 100% sprouting as I do using this “new” method
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
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.
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.
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 ; )
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?
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
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.
They should be 2-3 nodes in length at least. Cut them before the first hard frost. Wash them with dish soap before you store them in the fridge, and again before you propagate.
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 have a bunch of elderberry cuttings coming and will try this method over the Labor Day weekend. I love fig trees but they're a bit young for cuttings. I keep losing my panache trees to heat so I might buy some cuttings of those.
For the sand propagation method, how often should I open the plastic container and spritz with water? Weekly? Monthly? Also I received cuttings from you and I noticed you didn't shave part of the bottom to expose the cambium layer so that the cutting can make roots. Should I do that or unnecessary ?
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
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.
Maybe a dumb question… very new to this, when do you know it’s ready to plant in soil? How do you do it? I had some roots on one and put it in soil and the roots disappeared/died. Do you have a video on that process?
I have a video discussing tips for success after placing them in a container. Typically I like for the roots to be a few inches long before I mess with them. I buy a high quality potting mix, and add extra perlite for added drainage. Water thoroughly until water is draining out of the bottom of the container, and then keep soil moist but not waterlogged after that.
Neither until they have rooted and leaves form. Once they root and you place them in containers they simply need a dappled sunlit area, or an artificial grow light.
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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..
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?
@@PlantFanatics So can I dip in rooting hormone after sprouts/leaves appear? Started on 11/13. Have 15/20 cutting in 2 containers. 90% have buds already. Need guidance on next step. IT LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. TIA!!

Anything normally propagated by cutting
@@PlantFanatics 😊
How to prevent mold on cutting?
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.
Ziplock bag or this sand thingy which one is superior and why
Sand because of ease of access to the container.
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.
Can you use Rooting gel?
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. 😂

Any fruit tree typically rooted by cutting. There are some fruit trees that should be grafted due to the difficulty in the rooting process.
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?

ME TOO!!!
So you're spraying 100% alcohol on the cuttings (roots and leaves) and it's not hurting them at all? You don't dilute it?
70% isopropyl alcohol, yes. It doesn’t hurt them. It rapidly evaporates.
@@PlantFanatics Cool thanks. I have some mold growing on my cuttings but I didn't want to kill the roots or leaves.
Yes, that shouldn’t be an issue. I let them air out after spraying for a few minutes. Then return the lid.

No. Any plant typically propagated by cutting.

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
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.
And crazy me use an aero cloner with mixed success, that looks so much simpler. Pressure cook some sand and place my cuttings on that.😮
I like using hydrogen peroxide for mold issues.
Same.
Chamomile tea mixed at double strength as you would drink it, in a small spritzer bottle, works amazing on all molds & fungus for propagation boxes. Do you dilute your H2O2?
Cool method, i wanna try this 😊
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?
Will try this with Monstera Cuttings
This is awesome cool way to make a living fence when you take down the Mulberry tree
