Hi everybody, Since I found Figs for fun I have read a lot about propagation in the bag. I understand that moister is the key, but I am not sure about the role of light. Does it make any difference if I place bags in light room (out of sun) or dark basement? Thank you very much Karla __________________ Greensboro, Nc zone 7

I never put my baggied cuttings in direct sunlight while trying to root them. In fact after they are cupped in potting soil I still am careful not to let them get sunlight until they have leafed out good.(and then only gradually)

Light is fine but probably not necessary. Direct sun is not necessary and probably detrimental because of excess heating. They need to be warm, not hot or cooked. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
