Does anyone have any experience with antifungals for fig cuttings?
Thnx
Imran

unpasturized honey is a natral anti fungas, i use it in areoponics where fungas can be a real pain due to wet conditions.

honey is used to improve striking of cuttings as well

Wouldn't honey attract ants?

I use neem oil.

I use Neem Oil too for fungus control on fig trees.  It's organic and "safe".  But I've never tried using it on new cuttings.  Interesting idea.  I guess I never tried this approach (knocking out mold/fungus on new cuttings this way) because I read on here about using bleach and water (1 part to 10 parts) to wash cuttings, and then making sure to use a gritty mix that drains well for rooting (and careful to avoid overwatering).  I guess the bleach isn't organic, but I didn't have a problem using it in that concentration.  Also I've used bleach in that concentration for years to clean used pots that I buy.  It kills lots of other pests (like root knot nematodes).  I rinse them well with water after using the 1:10 mixture, and dry them before I use them.

I guess preventively knocking out fungus/mold in cuttings other ways seems interesting though.  I'm interested to hear how this thread and your experience turns out.

With figs they say you really dont need a rooting agent, however i use dip n grow i just makes me feel better to use it. and i feel that a liquid root agent will soak into the plant tissue better than a powder would. after using to rooting agen take a soft brush and paint lightly with honey.

i have used willow tea before and it works great but mix it strong. use mainly the small whips as i coll em cut into 4-6 inch parts. 1/3 in a five gal bucket. fill the rest of the bucket with hot water. soak for one day sturring every few hours. after 24 hours ready to use.

My fig cuttings started to have some mold. I washed them with handsoap and sprayed with garden safe fungicide 3. It is organic and has neem oil as active ingredient. Will post results. Thanks all for your suggestions.
