Carbon black, thin skin, ruby red, and shines just like her sister.

Those are beautiful.  I'm sure your kids will reward you for your great parenting.  :)

Congratulations Jennifer !!! Looks amazing !

Thank you.. Yes they are precious.

Jennifer

Best luck with them.  ; )

that's a beauty :)

looks so tasty, good luck and hope all make it.

Congratulations!  They look like they're off to a great start.

She's dead... I mean really dead. (Using profanity--->*%#*!%{>#%!) Urgh, this cutting meant a lot to me. My only back up. I seriously doubt that the one in ground is alive. I am really sad. She was going to be my best collection. I'm going to cry. I know this is a twig but... I really cared for her

Jennifer, sorry to see you lost your cutting.  Usually they are home free by the that stage but I've had this happen a couple times recently too (probably because I have been using soil that doesn't drain as well as it should).  Do you think you watered too much?  Too much humidity, not enough humidity, fungus gnats, etc?

Cut off the rotten portion and stick it again, I have had some rotting, I cut up to an inch off, sometimes twice and it the have rooted fine after that.

i use same soil mix for all my cuttings, but occationally, one or two pots will not drain well. if i don't pay attention to water, something like that will happen. it will either flat out rot, or the bark will peel off and it won't do anything. like chivas said, if the top part is still good, chop off the bottom and see what happens.

unless the whole length and inside is rot, i would try again.

SCD seriously sucks. Sorry.

That is too bad:(  That is one reason I think wicking the plants might work well.  It completely eliminates the top watering and keeps the plant evenly moist every day 24/7.  The moisture level can be controlled by how wet or dense of a mix you choose.  It sure works great with other plants.....and so far is working flawlessly for my fig cuttings.  

Yes, that's a tough pill to swallow when you lose one that's valuable to you like that Jennifer. Sorry this happened to you.

I had many failures, early on, myself (& still do). Most of them were due to over watering at one stage or another. No matter how long you've been rooting cuttings, it's still a delicate balance. Fortunately, most of us have enough successes to keep working at it and refining our techniques as we go. We can't bring back the ones we "killed" but we can certainly learn from our mistakes ;-/ .

The innate difficulties and stress inherent to rooting dormant cuttings is one of the main reasons I learned to to do grafting. It is sooo much less complicated than babysitting those little cuttings and worrying over them until they're established.

Sorry I can't replace that variety for you but, hopefully, I will have a couple of good GM varieties available sometime in the future :) . Maybe someone else will be able to help you in the shorter term though.....

It happens to everyone and if they said it never did well they lied if they have tried enough times for we all at some point have drowned a newly rooted plant.
Just hurts more when we want a particular cultivar thats special - like your was to you.

Im sure another opportunity for this cultivar will come for you in time and yet sometimes the search is exciting !
Good luck.

Thanks saxonfig,

I hope someone here will help me out to replace GM201 but time will tell. Thank you for considering me, I really do appreciate your kinship. For now, I am going back to the drawing board and learn from this. I will find better avenues to root cutting before the other rarer varieties come in. I will be bud/whip/bark grafting in spring.

Hey Jennifer why don't you prune off that slimy stuff rinse the cutting off and put it in a ziploc bag with some moist spahgnum moss I hope this works don't give up on such a precious fig. Goodluck

Jennifer. You made me laugh with "putrid squishy smell". Couldn't have said better myself as I've been there and smelled that - LOL.

We all have felt your pain at one time or another.

I appreciate Martin's attitude on it also. If you're patient and you want it to come back to you, it most likely will in time :-) .

I had this happen with one. In my case, I came up short on peat moss to mix in with pearlite for one last cup. I decided to try using some sphagnum moss to make due(because it was right there ready to go).
That was the first cutting to start growing leaves and roots against the cup. At some point the the roots stopped growing, the leaves died, and the whole thing was a tube of snot like yours. When I dumped it all out I couldn't help but notice that the sphagnum moss was like a soppy sponge, I deemed it the culprit.

Mine was not the variety of subject, or rare, or expensive.  And I had more, just a story really. :)

Sorry for your loss I'm sure your source will help you get one soon he's a great person.
