When and how to root fig cuttings
Winter is perhaps the best time to start rooting your fig cuttings. There is nothing more uplifting than to see small green leaves contrasting the white and grey in the cold months.
Root pruning a fig tree…
Root pruning potted fig trees is essential for maintaining healthy growth, preventing root-bound stress, and encouraging a more fibrous, vigorous root system that supports better water and nutrient uptake. Regular root pruning helps control the tree’s size for container culture, reduces the risk of poor drainage and root rot, and stimulates new feeder roots that improve fruiting and overall vigor. Performed carefully—during repotting or dormancy—root pruning also refreshes potting mix and allows you to inspect roots for pests or disease, ensuring your fig remains compact, productive, and long-lived in a container.
