Hi,
For the fig-cuttings, now comes the hardest time.
I had a lot die at that stage. Seems like the roots and the leaves did not get to match their activity, exhausted the reserves in the cutting, and everything crumbled.
IMO, you should wait for the cup to be full of roots, and keep those trees inside the house and active for the winter - it is gonna be a challenge.Be prepared !
Did you already fertilize some to get the roots to work ( instead of just growing ) ? Use half the recommended dose . Be careful, don't drown them in love.
Good luck !

I haven't fertilized at all yet. Is this something I should be doing at the stage? If you could recommend a specific fertilizer that I should be using I'd really appreciate it. Also, when I do fertilize at half strength as you suggest Do I completely Soak it until it drains through the bottom?

It just occurred to me....All this discussion about propagating cuttings....Yet I have no idea what to do when I get roots? And how much roots I need before I do something?

First of all is this enough root?

 
 
 

Alright - When I do have "enough" roots what do I do next? Just move them to a 1 gallon pot and care for them in the window until spring? Should I start to fertilize at some point?
