I am sure this will work for you oldguy128. It worked for about 20 types of figs for me.

Welcome Naeem,

Those are impressive results.

Before I read your post I just ordered some Coco Coir....I am so glad you went the smart route.

I am using perlite and composted cow manure, and I wanted something better..we also have fungus gnat issues because of some potting soil we are growing hot peppers and herbs in...


I have no idea what took me so long, but your post is proof that coir is the best way forward.

Thanks Lewi.
You can not go wrong with coco coir just make sure it is not too wet. I have not tried anything else because this is my first time
rooting figs cuttings. Also in about two months I have not seen any fungus gnats.  

Hi, Naeem.

Congratulations on your rooting success and a thank you for the Post Image link.  It's so much easier than Photo Bucket that I was using.

Question for you.  In the fifth picture in your first post, can you tell me the name of the cutting in the second row from the top, second cup from the right?  It looks like something I have.

Thanks

Thanks Cheryl

This cutting is an unknown green fig .  These two cutting one in first row second from right ( desert king ) and this unknown cutting both have wilting leaves as I mentioned in summary above.
I moved these two cuttings in other bin to give more light and see if both can stay alive but both lost their leaves still not dead yet. I am very happy with the results so far.
I hope this answer your question.  

Ahhh, the ever present unknown, huh.  I've got a few of those too ;-)

Hope they survive.

Thanks

I just added today's picture in post #1 last picture (02-25-2017) for update on my cuttings so far everything is going great.
I have four cuttings which lost their leaves but still alive.  Thanks 

I use a lot of coco coir as well. You did a great job!

Welcome.  Your plants look fantastic! 

Love that you showed the progress.

Thanks SuperMario1 can not go wrong with coco.  

Thanks Shirley just learning and documenting.
Maybe it will help somebody.

 I have uploaded two more pictures for last two weeks to see weekly progress. So far I have lost nine cuttings out of 35 due to wilting leaves, I am still searching for a reason. 
 Only thing which I could say thin cuttings use all the energy on roots and do not have left anything to keep going.  If somebody know or have anything in their experience please share it

What soil did you pot them in...if using coir to pot, you need to use fertilizer/ nutrients...a very weak solution of course.

Most of the time when I notice a problem with a cutting - not growing/wilting leaves - it is due to the potting mix being too wet.  I usually repot the cutting in new soil and put a clear baggy over it.  Sometimes it's just too late.  In one case the cutting had rotted and the roots were no longer attached to the cutting (the cutting originally had great roots!). 

I am not 100 % positive since I don't use a bin to hold my cuttings but I think there is too much moisture in your plastic container.  

Thanks Lewi I thought about using fertilizer and may start with some cuttings.  

Thanks Angela I am very careful with water may be give like a spoon at a time but could be a reason will further watch it.

A cutting with wilting leaves might have better luck in reduced light. My reasoning is that the plant is trying too hard to use the light energy and it is not a particularly vigorous cutting. Try putting it in a low light area and see if things improve. 

Naeem, welcome to the forum and good work with your fig propagation!  I'm also in Maryland zone 7a and live just outside of Barnesville in northern Montgomery County.

Thanks livetaswim06 I will try few with reduced light too.

Thanks Steve and glad to see some body else is growing figs nearby.

Home Depot sells coco coir in a 1.5 cu ft bag for $20.00.
Black Magic, I believe.  Anyone care to offer a review on their product?
