I did two searches on this site, "How to Root Cuttings" and "Root Cuttings". Both came up with Zero. I thought I would find a lots on the subject on this site. In the past I have rooted Cotton Wood. They were easy. Just stick them in a glass of water. I tried that way last year with some fig cuttings and just got rotten sticks for my effort. I've picked up from this site that I should put them in pots in some type of medium. Half of the ones from my first try I did put in pots. Same results, rotten sticks. Any one got a link to detailed instructions for some one that has no idea what they are doing? Need a fail proof system. Or at least as close to fail proof as it can get. O'Yeah, I've also rooted carrot tops and potatoes>LOL

Since you are helping new members, how do you start a new post? I don't get it, but would like to, as I may have some questions or comments to make without hijacking someone's post. BTW I realy enjoy all the trials on rooting methods and mediums. It's all very interesting to me and shows just how dedicated all of you are to a great hobby! __________________ Tim Fort Wayne, IN Zone 5/6 (it keeps changing) Currently growing: Brown Turkey, Celeste, Kadota, White Texas EB Currently rooting: Alma, Black Madeira, Castle, Desert King, Dominicks Purple, Grasa Purple, Improved Celeste, Ischia Black, Ischia Green, VdB

I suggest you use my method: (1) buy lots of valuable cuttings, (2) have them sent to my address, (3) watch them grow! I'll post photos for you and save you the work... ;) If you insist on doing it all yourself, I have been using this method with pretty good success: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=6692131 For some reason, it doesn't seem to work very well with fat cuttings, though I don't know if the cuttings were just flawed or if the method was to blame. I usually get roots showing at the bottom of the pot in 10-20 days and in 6-12 weeks they are ready to move into gallon pots. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics
