I posted this earlier under “What do you do when you have leaf growth before roots” but would appreciate some more suggestions.

 “What if you get a little fig before there are leaves? Several of my cuttings show a little green bump and I thought it was sprouting. Today I checked it with a magnifying glass, and it's a little fig emerging, but there are no signs of any sprout bumps anywhere. No roots are showing through the cup. I have had both little figs and healthy sprouts on some of my other cuttings. I broke off the figs so more energy would go to the sprouts. But some little twigs have no other sprouting place to put its energy. Should I leave the figs on and hope a sprout develops from the node, then remove the fig? Thanks in advance.”  

 Richie suggested: “Like this!!! Lol. I ate mine i was told to take them off by most people but one person said it could cause cutting to bleed out. I will go check my cutting in pic above i took them off 3 days ago and put back in coir. I will get back with you.” 

 James suggested: “I cut them in half (or a bit more) with a sharp knife or razor.  The cutting will start to abort the fruit allowing a scab to form before it falls off.” 

 I don’t have any other sprouting out going on with these cuttings so am hesitant to wound them with any “bleeding”. What do other people do?
