This was my first year to root Fig cuttings and I had some good luck..... Of course, I lost some by over watering. Today, I potted up 26 cuttings in ( 1 Gallon pots) that have been under grow lights for about 2 to 3 months 24/7. Now, I got to get them acclimated to the hot Southern Sun and Temps. In this Photo there are 26 plants from cuttings, Brooklyn Dark, Antonio Black, Green Isiahi, M vs B, Ronde De Bordeaux, JH Adriatic, Sweet Diana,Gino's Black, Sal's EL, Scott's Black, Salem Dark, to name a few of them... Hope everyone had good luck this Winter Rooting Indoors. __________________ Frank from Bama- Zone 7-b Alabama ....................................................

Looks good frank, this was my first year rooting as well, didn't go so well. Looks like you'll have plenty to keep you busy though. __________________ Travis Pittsburgh, PA

They look great.!!! What do you think your success rate was for being your first winter. My ratio was really bad, due to fungus gnats. I think I have 2 out of 100 cuttings from the winter still alive. __________________ Armando in the Heart of California

I have an outside large bldg and used some T8 lights with Full Spectrum Tubes..As the plants grew I raised the grow lights. I too, had fungus gnats, maybe not so bad as you...Tried not to keep plants over watered (hard to do)...I think it may have been "Beginners Luck" Thanks, to everyone for the kind remarks. : ) __________________ Frank from Bama- Zone 7-b Alabama ....................................................

They look great, just go slow with the direct sunlight, very slow or you'll cook them. __________________ Scott, Long Island ,NY All my figs have been exposed to FMV,some have it, some don't. It doesn't seem to bother them so it doesn't bother me.
