	Subject: Beginner to Figs	Replies: 17
	Posted By: PittsburghPisano	Views: 322

Hello
I recently became interested in growing figs both in pots and potentially in my yard in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I've done a lot of research but admittedly have a LOT to learn. Knowing nothing about growing figs from cuttings I recently (in September) bought 9 cuttings online from various locations. I put 4 in 4" pots with a sandy dirt mix after applying rooting hormone and created makeshift greenhouses on each pot. I then found through my research that late winter is the best time to try to root figs from cuttings because the plant will soon come out of dormancy. So the remaining 5 cuttings I've purchased I wrapped in damp news paper and put in a ziplock and am storing them in the fridge. I am looking for ANY advice from some of you experts on how to 1.) maintain my cuttings over the winter that are ready in pots, and 2.) how to maintain my cuttings in the fridge until it is a safe time to plant them in pots. (I did disinfect them in attempt to prevent mold or disease). The reason why I have 9 cuttings is because I wouldn't be surprised if some of them fail so if half survive I'll still be happy. Any advise would be greatly appreciated because although I did research I still feel lost.
