I have 3 fig cuttings I started early this month, had a branch break off a friends tree. I know this is not the time to do it but I figured I would try. I rooted the cuttings in moss and got 3 cuttings to grow roots. I transplanted to a clear plastic cup in a light medium, and put in clear plastic tote in sun room keeping the humidity around 85%. Well one is producing leafs the other two looks like they are getting mold on them should I just disguard those two or let them go I need help don't want nothing to happen to the one that is growing. See pic. I new to this so any advice would be helpful Attached Images image.jpg (771.78 KB, 30 views)

Sometimes roots form but leaves don't if the leaf node is damaged. I don't think the mold will affect the cutting that's developing leaves, however when the roots look reasonably developed you might gradually normalize the humidity. __________________ John NH Z5

Welcome to the forum JerseyJoe! It's hard to see anything in the picture but you shouldn't discard the two rooted cuttings just because mold has developed. A simple 10% bleach solution in a spray bottle will take care of that (10 parts water : 1 part bleach). __________________ Danny NYC Z7a It's all about the figs!
