Just planted my Fig tree yesterday. Something to look forward to. Thank you for the great video and God bless.
I am so pleased that you were so detailed about the instructions.
That is really helpful when the small things are not left out.
I enjoyed this video
Thank you for sharing.👍😊🌹
You are welcome, but do keep in mind that we are always learning and growing. Since this video, I have changed soil and now recommend HP Pro Mix. It keeps the moisture level at a better consistency. Secondly, I no longer cut the corners for drainage. It's not necessary if the moisture level of the soil it right. I found that cut corners can lead to dry soil on the bottom. Best of luck to you.

Thank you,will follow your instructions and pass them on.👍😁
Thanks. Just got some cuttings from another channel, and now I know what to do with them!
LOL...you are welcome. Now you are just little bit less clueless I guess. Best Regards!
2 Angels Mushroom Farm very little less! 😂
Air Layering is the BEST method of Fig Tree Propagation, period. It is easier, almost foolproof you get a much larger root ball, and you can get fruit the next year.
That is true IF you already have the variety growing and want to propagate more. I actually think the ground layers are even easier than airlayers. Have you ever tried that? Perhaps I will do a video on that later this year...
That s only your opinion I disagree...
Great video , still learning how to propagate fig cuttings properly indoors and by the way not as easy as everyone says, as you mention the right amount of moisture is what makes the fail or success of the cutting, I have lost some by overwatering the roots, some by having the stem drying out, I guess that is the reason for using parafilm and some for being impatience and disturbing the new roots...I am going to try this method , thank you
Nicolo DiCara thank you. I think this technique keeps the moisture more steady, but root rot is always a pitfall along the way. Best of luck to you and many figs.
Found it Angel...good video. Thanks :)
When do you transfer them to pots? I see really nice roots on a few of my cuttings. Should I transfer them? They have also been in a tupperware container for about 5 weeks. thanks for the help
It is wise to wait until you really see a good amou t of strong roots. These roots are very tender and delicate. The risk of breaking them in the process is significant which why it is wise to let the, really fill the bag well. Strong roots so have the best chance of surviving the transition. Best of luck to you!
This is a very helpful video!
Thank you so much for this video.
Great video! How often do you need to add water to the plastic bag you plant your cutting in? Additionally, where do you store your cutting in a plastic bag while you wait for the roots to develop? Thank you
I wish we can get a reply. I spent hundreds of $ on cuttings and succeeded only with one thick cutting.
Good questions! After bagging, you want to store your fig pops in a warm place to encourage the natural rooting action to happen. The ideal temps are around 75F. Secondly, the purpose of the bag is to maintain a consistent level of moisture so that you do not need to water at all. Ideally, your cuttings will root and leaf out before you would need to water them. Transplant your cutting into the well-draining pointing soil of your choice, but be sure is wet and drained before potting.
@@Zabardageegan See reply above. My apologies that I did not see your question sooner. We wish you all the best with your cuttings.
Do you cover the bins or not necessary? What’s a good spot to leave the bin when you’re rooting before warmer temperatures outside? Is a basement or a hallway closet ok?
Great video! I’m a new sub. So glad I found ya :)
Thank you. We will be doing a video soon showing the next step, which is potting the rooted fig. That can be hard to do. Watch for that...
Do you water from the top or do they soak up water from the bottom? and what you use to write on the stem is it a marker ?
Yes, a fine-point, oil-based paint marker is ideal. The soil is already at the proper moisture level. Once the bag is closed, you should not need to rewater. If the soil is too wet, the roots are likely to rot. Moist soil is all you need. Place the bagged cuttings upright in a container and keep it 70-75 degrees. Check them every day. You should see signs of growth in 2-4 weeks, and then move them to a grow light. Once the roots have grown out and the leaves are full, you can pot the young tree.
Thanks for the video. Do I need to put these bags under the light? or any shaded or dark room is OK?
You only need light once the leaves grow. Without leaves, there is no photosynthesis, so light it's necessary. Light would only encourage the growth of leaves. What you want is roots to grow, so a dark place it ideal. Once leaves emerge, they must have light.
Nice work, just some questions : how often do you water the bag, for light requirements is it mandatory at the beggining or till the shoots appear, by the way i am from a coutry that you may have never heard of : Algeria
Other videos of the figpop method advise against watering at all until you get a lot of growth, and then up pot to a larger pot. They say to resist the urge to over water.
paint marker?
Is this page still running and did the fig root?
No, they dried out and caught fire and burned down the house🔥she is now homeless in California 🙁😥thanks for watching 👍👍
@@openrange4999 why in thee FUCK would you write this FUCKING SHIT to me when you don’t know me or why I even asked the questions I asked her.

Hi. Would this work with fiddle leaf figs?
Hi I have a question , is it ok for the portion of the stem that is above the soil and not fully covered ? Sometimes my bags are a little small and I have few inches of the cutting sticking out , do I need to cover it to retain moisture ?
There is a danger in it drying out, but there are options. Make your bags a little longer, or wrap the cutting with parafilm. Both are good options
I noticed that some of the Fig Cuttings they sell on EBAY have one end WAXED. Do you need to remove the wax before trying to Root them.
YES! Most cutting you receive will have wax on the cut end. Normally, there is an excess of wood at the bottom end of the cutting below the node. That is left on purpose to give you room to trim the cutting at the time you start it. Just prune it back to about1/2" below the node. That gives you a fresh cut for the cutting to better take up moisture. After the cut, gentley remove any remaining wax.
Thank you. Is a heat mat unnecessary?
It depends. If the area in which you will be rooting is sufficiently warm (about 70-75F is ideal), then you will not need a heat mat. Rooting cuttings is normally done in the winter when the cuttings are dormant. In the winter, cold temps are more of a concern. If your rooting area is cold, you may need a heat mat as cuttings are less likely to wake up from dormancy and start growing without it. If using a heat mat, it is crucial that one closely monitor the soil temps. If the temps get too high (85F or greater), it will cook the roots and kill the cutting. I would not place the bags directly on the heat mat. Put something in between as a buffer.
@@2AngelsFigs thank you. Last winter I made the mistake of having cuttings on mats and cooking them. I now have thermostatic controlled mats, and will set at low 70's when rooting this winter.
@@warrenschwartz5653 We have commercial-grade heat mats with just such a controller. Everything was growing great this winter...until we had a storm that came through knocking out the power briefly. I didn't think about the controller. Several days later I found that the soil temp was 95 and I had lost a lot of cuttings. The power interruption had caused the controller to lose its programming so it was just on full blast continuously. Learned that lesson the hard way!
How long the plant from cutting will bare fruits?
Most Next year have fruit
How long will it take for the tree to produce fruit?
Sharon Morejon that can vary. You might get fruit later this summer. But it maybe 1-3 years.
Result?
Grow?
Subbed thanks :)
Thank you! We have subscribed to your channel as well. Happy Figging!
🙏
Use a canning lid filler
Lol. They say great minds think alike. I now do just that. Works much better
What was your success rate?
Joseph King above 75%, but I have since discovered a new soil mix that works better. We are now recommending HP Promix. It maintains a steady moisture level far better and has mycorrhizae.
Yea I need them bags thanks for the name of the company that sells them
What is the name of the company. I didn't catch your pronunciation
Lol, please forgive my Southern accent. For bulk bags get them at Uline.com but it you just need a few get those on Ebay or Amazon.
@@2AngelsFigs
Urine has 4 x 2 x 14 at 43 dollars . That's doable . I looked at the tubing as well and the tubing is reasonable . Like 50 dollars. But the heat sealer is an extra $100 . I will go with the bags. Thanks a lot for directing me to uline
Oh . You have a southern accent? I didn't notice . I picked up my English in North Carolina . So apology is not needed
Look for 4 x 16 , if possible. You will need that extra length.
Ben Shuttle Method
Yes, Ben also uses the bag method. He has a lot of great videos and we recommend his channel.
