Went to clean some things this morning that I have been neglecting do to lack of time like the boxes of sphagnum moss on top of the fridge that I thought I had removed all the cuttings from over a month ago. Turns out I had a couple hidden way down!

Maltese Falcon, Black Madeira, CdD. Just kidding! They were golden celeste, brown turkey, monstrueuse, and an unknown. Had a lot of success rooting this first year. I didnt know what to expect so when people did cuttings for shipping(Thank you all again!) i would have them send a bundle thinking if i had a 20% chance of rooting then i could get a couple into cups and if one made it through cups i would be good (read a lot of stories about people having trouble in both stages). The exact opposite happened! Many cuttings rooted at the bottom and middle so I cut them in half and got double the plants and sometimes triple. I didn't lose any cuttings in the rooting or cup stage aside from panache which I have all but given up on! Too many figs to keep track of and I probably gave away 30+ rooted cuttings this year from all the doubles. I have doubles of all of these ones already so these will go in ground for a cold hardy trial. Long story short I have figs growing out of my ears! =)

Nearly all of the cuttings I tried to root this year grew as well. I have like > 50 potted plants now.
