Well I have been gone from the forum for a few years. So I just decided to start some Dark Greek cuttings, wish me luck :-)) In other words I have a large dose of Fig crazyness.

Good luck with your green cuttings. Cover them with plastic cups.

You going old school. Lol. Good system. I put them in refrigerator for a week using the baggy method for green cuttings then pull them out and let them root. Stiffnens them up a bit.

Hello Pete,


Green outside is what they are, I have them in a baggie with damp paper towels, I have rooted green cuttings like that before,

Thanks
