What a great time of the year! We just up-potted our young fig trees yesterday, and had to brush up on how to do it by watching your videos!! Thanks so very much!
Awesome!! This video is so well done, the explanations of the whole process....just so good! If it were fall/winter, I'd go out and transplant my few fig trees right now and inspect my roots for that girdling at the same time. They will have to wait until dormancy now though, I don't want to shock them. I had no idea you could trim up some of those roots but going forward I'm going to be checking that for the best soil, root connection and ensuring they aren't going in circles around the pots. Thank you for sharing your craft. Wish I'd seen this video 3 years ago, totally would have participated in the cutting giveaway.....great idea.
Hey Charlies, it'll be cool if you show us a side to side from the different growing mediums? I think that'll be very interesting for us, knowing that plants love the upgraded mix way more. Thank you IV Organics, love the whitewash for my avocado trees.
IV Organic Hi Charles, I up-potted my cuttings today and saw lots of roots! I have kept the cuttings in doors so far, would now be a good time to bring them outside, at least for part of the day? Thanks!
Happy Gardening..we had a 63 degree day yesterday. I was able to start some cleaning up the garden and about to sow a couple th in nga indoors..I'm getting spring hungry..be blessed
Little Jordan Farm DITO- ‘Spring hungry’ here too!!! This weekend we were at Laguna Beach in shorts, getting some sun, and now these past two days (Monday / Tuesday) were in the upper 50’s- way too cold for Los Angeles winter!!! I hope this year will be our best growing season EVER! Stay in touch! Charles 🌱👍
Hello Charles I started flowing you recently and immediately fell in love in products that you are offering. I moved from San Diego to San Antonio because I always wanted my own garden. We could not afford to buy house in San Diego... However I am excited to share some pictures in next few days on my Instagram page. Thanks to your generous knowledge I decided to buy and plant some Figs and Lemons. So far I have Celeste fig and Mayer improved lemon tree on top of some other fruit and vegetables I planted earlier this year. I am excited for new upcoming videos and can't wait to use IV Organic products on my fruit trees. I always believed in organic gardening. Cheers .
Thank you for all your tips, I take it that I can use these tips in my season in Western Australia? I hope to start end of June begining July, cheers Karen
Hi Charles I'm glad I watched this so disregard my question on the older video. I asked if you can use honey ( from my own hives by the way ) and cinnamon for root encouragement. I liked the trick with the cuttings in the little planter and placed in the solo cup of water.
JPthebeemaninDE So cool that you’ve got bees 🐝 living on your property! I hope to interview 1-2 local experts this year- such an amazing asset to the garden & community!! Keep me posted on your rooting successes! Charles 🌱👍
Charles. Per your recommendation, I have used equal proportions of perlite and vermiculite to root three fig cuttings on November 9, 2021, and I’m pleased to let you know that they have developed extensive root systems and several healthy looking large leaves. Also, I’ve used your two-cup method and have discovered that they require a lot of water as the bottom cup dries out every other day after I water them. I do have two questions, one directly related to this effort and another that is tangentially related that I hope you might indulge me with answers. 1. When should I consider transplanting these cuttings in my garden? 2. I have bought a couple of pruners in the past that I have been totally disappointed in. In another one of your videos discussing pruning fig trees with BareRoot Nation, I saw you using a pair of hand pruners so effortlessly to make me jealous. Could you please share with me what they are? If for some reason you are not able to provide that information, could you make a recommendation on a good pair of pruners that are reasonably priced? Thank you so much.
Hey Charles, glad to see you!! Good video again, we need to get together soon before I move to Texas....maybe you can come out to my new property that’s a pecan orchard 🤗
Hi Charles! Have you ever tried to propagate pineapple guava cuttings? I’ve tried three times and failed. No roots, leaves sprouted and eventually dried out since not rooted. If you have a growing technique please share with me. Thanks so much!!! Sally from Silicon Valley, San Jose , California.
I'm just starting with fig cuttings, I received some cuttings ( Golden Riverside, and Cor de Dame noir ) and have been looking for good soil medium ideas, I really like this mix presented in this video. I do have a concern regarding the time of the year, I am in South Fla. so its warm most of the year, only the occasional cold front brings us down to lower 50s or upper 40s for a day or two in our "harsh" winters. will I be ok, starting these cuttings now in Sept. ? we still have a couple months or so before any "cold" hits, and I can bring them indoors, if that is an issue.
I've had no experience with figs until this summer when I bought a Chicago hardy fig tree. If I root cuttings from this tree, will it be as cold hardy as the parent tree, or does the root determine that?? Dave in northern Indiana
Hello Charles, I am doing fig cutting for the first time ever and I would like to see the outcome of these figs and pomegranates you started. Watching several different videos about this, I noticed some say light others no light. Very confused lol.
Interesting video. Are you familiar with air propagation/ laring? If so what type of soil should be used for that the same vermiculite or perlite or regular potting soil?
Either way because you don't have to worry so much about wood rot or mold on an air layer. So, might as well try to get some extra nutrients in the new root system.
Also what if you don't have that morning sunlight? I live in a small camper so its difficult unfortunately to have that morning sunlight. Can I use a grow light of something like that?
Thanks for this video. Do you just leave your fig cuttings inside the house without the film or plastic container as shown in the last part of the video in the red solo cups? Also is there a foolproof way that I can water it so that I don't overdue it? Earlier in the video you had the small brown container with the cutting in it sitting in water. Will it get enough water sucking up through it that way? Thanks so much.
hi, i have this hudge beautiful fig tree . it had hundres green with yelow striped lines . this year i had may be 2 dozens . i trimed it last year ??? how can i get fruit on it again ? HELP
Great video! Question....When will I know the time to plant my fig cutting ....when leaves appear or at 5--6 weeks after initially planting the fig cutting? Also, when and how do I fertilize the rooting cutting? I've had some early fig leaves wilt and I'm afraid this is due to running out of nutrition? I ordered both of your fertilizers and when can I start them with both the initial cuttings and after I transplant the cutting into a larger pot. I would love to try the long neck fig and the black mission fig here in Florida!!! You have great videos...thank you.
The leaves will not wilt from a lack of fertilizer. The roots probably died or were stunted, or the humidity was too low for the initial amount of roots. Maybe low root temperatures caused root death? Fertilizer problems will show up as yellowing or slow growth later on, at that point use a mild complete fertilizer, whether compost tea or soluble commercial fert. Sometimes its just luck, which is why scientific tests use many replications.
If I need cutting from you then how to get. I’m London. I did so much hard work for that bit did grow but when plates in the ground then they look happy & stop growing. I planted on the garden ground one week before. Still no progress
Hello I tried with the cutting. It did grow a bit but when I put them in the ground the leafs are dying. Two of them I tried. Both of them don’t look very happy & stop growing. In the morning leafs sometime ok but sometimes they just look like falling. Please suggest me what to do. I do water them regularly & give good compost too. Pls help me. I love having fig plant in my garden. I liked your video. Thanks.
Hi Charles I am Roger Castillo of 639 Las Brisas Dr., Mesquite Tx., 75149, I have watching all your amazing videos and wanting to propagate different fig variety of your collection pls spare me some of your fig cuttings. I purchase one of your IV organics 3 in 1 via amazon and used them on my persimon trees.Thank you and more power to you.
I have a question man, If you take a cutting off say, an old fig tree that produces plenty of fruit, Will the cutting fruit in the next growing season with the mother tree? Or will it need to wait 5 years or so like a fresh seedling?
YES. Goto www.IVOrganics.com for a flat international shipping charge of $15. Also, we are now stocking our initial inventory in Amazon-UK: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01AQ15TX0?ref=myi_title_dp Charles :-)
I bought and planted a Fig Tree 3 months ago. What products would you recommend for it? It's growing slowly, but the leaves are getting scorch. How often should I water it
I was under the impression that root development is more important than leaf development. No? If yes, then the cuttings should be kept away from light to suppress leaf development.
Hello Charles , I am Roger Castillo of 639 Las Brisas drive , Mesquite, Texas, Pls spare me some of your give away 10 or more variety of fig cuttings , in February,. I am an avid follower of all your video presentation and I have leared a lot from your videos, you are just an amazing horticulturist especially your 10 in 1 fig tree. I love to have something like that. Thank you very much and God Bless you more and more so you can shre you talent s to lot of people.
I would flip a lid if cutting arrived with damp paper towels in contact with the cuttings . It rotted 4 cuttings w/in 30 days. I will never ever use vermiculite again as a rooting medium . I had 100% vermiculite so dry it registered in the red on as moisture meter . Mix 50/50 out of the Vigro bag with the other 50% of blotted (blotted with paper towels and cardboard) and the cuttings still rotted . I wouldnt dream of of pouring water into the soil substitute as IVorganics shows here. Perlite . That same brand Vigro perlite retains moisture way too well . It does not drain well . At best the powder needs to be sifted out of the perlite. Clay pebbles or even gravel would be a better choice Rooting hormone is 99. 97% not rooting hormone but that .3% hormone is not the major benifit of rooting powder but the antibaterical powder is the major benifit. . Cinnamon, honey benifit is its antibacterial properties. There is no rooting hormone in those to two. Every thing about this video smacks of product sales and less of successful rooting of cuttings. IV organics did a cuttings rooting video 4 years ago that video made more sense that this promotion
It is 0.3% (3000ppm) because 100% is not directly usable. No different than a 1 gram pill that contains 10mg of a drug, 10mg pills would be the size of a grain of sand and impossible for a typical user to handle. Even in professional labs rooting hormones are typically diluted to between 50ppm(0.005% and 10,000ppm(1%) depending on the particular specie, use case, and application method.

Either way because you don't have to worry so much about wood rot or mold on an air layer. So, might as well try to get some extra nutrients in the new root system.
can rooted but no leaves fig cutting placed under light
Also what if you don't have that morning sunlight? I live in a small camper so its difficult unfortunately to have that morning sunlight. Can I use a grow light of something like that?
Hi Charles I would like to have some of the give away or how Icould buy some of the cuttings. Diff. Varieties pls.
Do You Think It's Okay To Mix Cinnamon With The Rooting Hormone?
I Mix Ground Turmeric With Rooting Hormone And That Works Well.

I have a question man,
If you take a cutting off say, an old fig tree that produces plenty of fruit,
Will the cutting fruit in the next growing season with the mother tree? Or will it need to wait 5 years or so like a fresh seedling?
It will generally fruit normally the second year. New fig seedlings are mystery trees.
Best soil is water!
Hi do u have any left over fig cutting if u have some left can I have a few....thanks
Would love to listen to your videos because I’m sure they are informative. One think, you need to make them shorter in time. FYI
