Rooting Fig Cuttings?

luigiwu · March 25, 2015

I know there are forums devoted just to Figs but this is such a friendly and knowledgeable bunch, I hope you guys can help me out. I’m wanting to start some fig cuttings. They’ve been sitting my fridge during winter.

I’ve tried a couple of sticks setting them in perlite with an inverted cup over the whole thing to try and create a mini humidity dome effect - using a heat mat of course. Its been weeks so I’m pretty sure its not working. (I was never sure how the perlite works as mine never seems to hold a whole lot of water… I tried a more humid setup but all it was grow mold on my twigs…)

Has anyone been successful with rooting fig cuttings?
