Thank you. You know who you are
These are my cuttings that have rooted vigorously. Potted both up (above)

additional side notes: Florea has roots. Genovese Nero (thank you has root initials which I am surprised because it is said "to be a challenge to root" ) lucky me I guess? Nero 600 has roots too. I will post more. Enjoy

P.S
I'm not too sure if these will ripe here in Idaho, I will evaluate Italian black and LSU black for zone 6a. Nero 600 should do good here- cross my fingers

Jennifer - nice roots!  How long did it take?  Were they in Sp Moss?  laying down in a box or upright in a pot?

This inquiring mind wants to know!!:)

Joanne: I stuck all my cuttings in my container- laying down (from the dollar store) in Spagnum and Orchid moss. Shoved them next to my heater and forgot about them. I think 14 days? I literately neglected the cuttings. When I do check the cuttings, it is only once a week. Still experimenting.

Jennifer

If grown in pots you will get ripe figs in zone 6a.

Hi Jennifer,
You will have to be very patient with Genovese Nero. It took me a while to finally see roots.
My Florea cutting that I got this year rooted very quick.

That's just it. Genovese Nero already has roots or should I say "one itty bitty root". Weird right? I am very fortunate. Florea will be my #1 fig that I have in my collection.. I have very high hopes for Florea. Genovese will be spending its life potted up and will never be planted in ground in Idaho. Too too cold here. LSU black and Italian Black are also going to be spending their life in a pot. Can't risk all that hard work ( especially $$) go to waste.

Jennifer

Good job Jennifer. Keep the LSU Blk and Italian Blk in containers, in a sunny location and you'll have no trouble of getting them ripe.

Really Exciting!  Happy for you!  Those quality cuttings should make great trees!  Good luck and enjoy watching them grow!

You're gonna love the flavor and taste of Florea! My small tree gave me 3 figs this year and they were great tasting. My GN is in a 5g swp.

Congratulations!  Keep up the great work!

I'm glad to share my rewards with you all. Thank you

Uh oh....

Looks like babies are stressed. The tips are not as plump as I remembered. Looking wrinkly. Or am I smothering. I have seen this happen to me before. I will leave it alone. Crap.

too much moisture collecting on the tip bud and started to turn mushy. or at least that's what happens to mine. i try to air they out daily, and use paper towel to wick away to moisture if they are sitting on the bud.

Jennifer,

What are they currently growing in?  A cup or pot?  I'm wondering if you'll have better luck with a 16oz clear cup with 70% perlite and 30% soil until you have significant root growth.  In my experimenting the past few months, I've found that the cuttings like 16oz clear cups until I have roots wrapping around the entire wall of the cup.  Makes it super easy to transfer to a 1 gallon pot afterwards.  They never appear stressed either.  Hope those come back to life.

In a huge transparent bin (where there are flaps to open and close at the top- like wings). I will air it out. It's at the beginning stage, I hate it when this happens

Figgy,

Nursery pot. Quart. Pecentage: Compost(.25), perlite(.50), peat (.25)

I don't know, it kind of looks like the lowest shoot/bud on each branch is doing fine. It only takes one to be in business.

If you have roots you don't need to keep the tops in humidity chambers.

Agree with Pete. Inside of your bin is too humid. Remember, fresh air is your cutting's friend.

Jo-Ann, I bet if you took a survey we would all confess to messing up now and then.  Most of us are not scientists with controlled operations.  We just simply love to root cuttings and watch them grow into something amazing.  After a few failures, we kinda figure it out, but not always.  There is that outside chance we will mess up!

I use my double cups, and you have seen one.  There are lots of air holes in there, and lots of roots.  Where there are a lot of roots, do not fear!  The plant will live.  Some leaves may wither and drop, but as long as you keep the dreaded fungus gnat away, you should be fine!  Oh, and if there are leaves, you need to water more. 

Good luck!

Suzi

Fresh air. Got it. I should stop messing with it. Sometimes I can be a hypocrite with my own advice. Leaving it alone....
