Was out an about today and bought some more gel cups to have some fun as sping is still a ways away but its getting closer as sunlight slowly sticks around longer.
So i put some more sticks in the gel cups and thought i share a picture , i scraped a little bark of to see what if anything they do , last time i did not and they just started miniscule roots before i passed them on to another member. If they do anything in future i post more good or bad.

You know, when I start rose cuttings, I scrape the skin off one side of the cutting near the bottom of the cutting. I read it somewhere and it seems to help them root in higher percentages. I've been doing it so long with the roses I can't even remember where I read it, just that I did read it. Never thought about doing something similar with the figs.

Little update with these gel cups.
Its 11 days later these 2 cups are the ones that look the best so far and looking at them with a jewlers loupe there are tiny what appears to be crystal like bubbles very neat looking.
One has a root that is a light lime green color something im not used to seeing when rooting in a more normal fashion.
Its hard to tell if the pointed crystal like things protruding outwards from stem actually have a tiny root within them as i cannot see inside those little pieces, perhaps eventually some might poke there way out if there is anything in them.
Its fun looking at these with this jewlers eyepiece i only wish i could show how beautiful those crystal like bubbles are in the pictures.

Looking good Martin, Going to try this summer with new growth of some of my figs. Thanks for posting the updates

Martin how are doing cuttings with scraped bark ?

Here is update these were started March 1st
mixed results.
One of the cups had a nasty smell the stcik with the longer root, it smelled just like when i rooted a stick in a vase of water . The stick seemed to be goping downhill and the gel was getting very cloudy so today i took some of them out and transplanted in potting soil. I nuked the potting soil in microwave cause i dont want knats then i spread soil out and misted lightly.
I only spooned the soil in the cups and did not tamp it down so its nice and fluffy the top of soil i then misted to hold stick a little more steadily.
As i took the sticks out of gel cups i looked at them with my jewlers loupe and saw small roots that had just emerged, the one stick that smelled looked like it might have been getting soft but i did not touch it 1 -3 roots on it.
I have several more in gel cups but not long in them, these i decided to take out of gel.

I do not like this way of rooting the scion But i wanted to try something different and post the results.

This get stuff is reportedly made for fresh green cuts off of plants and i will try  come time to get those cuttings and post results.
Click pictures to enlarge and look closely you can see so very small roots emerging but i decided to take them out because of what happened with the dark stick.

Thanks for sharing it will be interesting to see how green cuttings do
