I put my turkey fig cuttings in a storage bag but did not cleanse them and now they are molded. Can they be saved? They still look green at the cuts.
Thanks

The obvious thing is that the cuttings have molded and you cannot put them back as molded so something has to be done. The minimum you can do is wash them with 10% bleach (the liquid kind for the cloth washing machine). Then wrap them in less moist (not wet) paper and place them in a new plastic baggie and watch more often because once the mold starts then it comes back faster the next time. Keep the temperature not too high because that accelerates mold.
Having done that raise your hands and pray for them because the only cuttings that have ever rooted for this 2-seasons newbie were the ones that did not show any mold unless the mold was at the dead apical bud which was cut off and that stopped the mold. I has many cuttings that never showed any mold while in baggie for month and a half around 78~80F and in relatively wet paper because of the nature and the state of the cutting. The mold prone cutting gives you a hint of mold within a few days all depending on the the vigour of the mother tree, the location you get it from (I have good luck with cuttings from Zones 5 to 7... the colder the better), the amount of time in transit from the donor, the cleanliness at the times of bagging and surely the woody lignified hard cuttings with small pith help in overcoming mold then the greenish non-lignified cuttings with big pith.
These are only my experiences and not absolute truth but may be I have more experience in killing cuttings so there is one point in favour of my arguments.
Now wait for someone who has more success in overcoming mold and getting those nice green buds on the moldy cuttings that brings smile.

I would also add the following:

After cleaning as Dan and Ottawan suggest, allow the cuttings to dry thoroughly in open air (a few hours). When you return them to the bags for rooting, use newspaper rather than paper towels to wrap them (my experience has been less mold forms with newspaper). Do check them at least every other day (opening the bag allows fresh air to replace the stale air).

If mold starts to come back (it sometimes does), I have had the best luck using a "cornmeal" spray to get it under control. Cornmeal has natural anti-fungal properties. I make up a spray by soaking 1 cup of cornmeal (from the bakery section of the market) in a 1/2 gallon of water for 24 hours. Stir it up a few times during the soaking. Let all the cornmeal settle to the bottom and pour the clear, yellowish liquid into a spray bottle. Use this spray when mold first starts to re-appear. After a few treatments (usually over a couple of days) the mold finally goes away for good.

Note: if the cuttings are too far gone, the cornmeal spray will not work. If there is physical damage to the cuttings, you may not be able to overcome the mold issues.

Good Luck!
