I'm still waiting on my cuttings from UCDavis but in the mean time I have three Ischia Black cuttings that I got from Encanto Farms. I don't know if its the weather but I seem to remember last years cuttings took a lot longer to show roots. They have been in the shoe box for three weeks now and one cutting is showing a root. Here are videos I made of the cuttings. Has anyone received UCDavis cuttings yet?

Didn't you have a homemade cloning machine that you put together? I don't remember much more than that. How did you do trying to root fig cuttings with it?

I transferred my fig cuttings to a soil and perlite mix instead of the usual perlite and vermiculite and I'm also trying a new method with an inner area of all perlite around the cutting itself. New Video

tmc--Have you contacted Popeil to see if they take requests for things like a cloning machine? That's pretty catchy--Just set it and forget it, as they say. You have a great sense of humor about cloning yourself.

Two of the cuttings are making progress. The stronger end cutting and the one that I'm trying the center ring of perlite on. One cuttings is stuck showing no progress.
