The next step is to gently scratch the lower part and place a small amount of rooting hormone (either liquid or powder). Insert the cutting in a container with your growth media of choice (Pro-Mix HP or any sort of seed starting media). Make sure the media has been pre-hydrated and it is not oversaturated with water to prevent rot. Label your cuttings so that you can identify them in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67756fdb1091921154832a9a/d5af7c1a-1562-4ed7-97a5-696f923288c6/IMG_1280.jpg Thoughts in The Fig Garden - When and how to root fig cuttings Most fig cuttings will start to form roots within a month, and small leaves after 2 months. However, some varieties can take up to 3 months just to root. Our advice is to be patient and do not touch or disrupt the cuttings. Water only when the soil has started to dry. It is best to water in small quantities as needed. Grow lights are best used when the cutting have produced strong roots and some leaves. If you don’t have a grow light, simply place the container next to a window for some sunlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67756fdb1091921154832a9a/580c040c-c901-4b59-88b5-5a1e798e1593/IMG_1647.jpg Thoughts in The Fig Garden - When and how to root fig cuttings - Make it stand out Some of the cuttings being rooted for summer 2026. https://www.thepotteryfiggarden.com/blogs/root-pruning-a-fig-tree monthly 0.5 2026-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67756fdb1091921154832a9a/e242a2cb-89b7-428f-8c8c-376e441dc79f/100_3404.JPG Thoughts in The Fig Garden - Root pruning a fig tree… - Mixing and preparation Rehydrate the peat moss or coir before mixing if it’s dry—soak and squeeze until evenly moist. Fluffed peat/coir mixes more uniformly with other components. Sift your topsoil to remove stones, large roots, or compacted clumps. Avoid heavy clay soils. Combine components thoroughly so the perlite and topsoil are evenly distributed through the peat/coir. Add water gradually and mix until the whole blend is uniformly moist but not saturated. Mixture should hold together loosely if squeezed, then fall apart. Avoid puddling or excess sogginess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67756fdb1091921154832a9a/075ab837-1d6e-435e-951f-bbc612761c33/IMG_0060.JPG Thoughts in The Fig Garden - Root pruning a fig tree… - How to choose If you need mobility and low cost: choose plastic. If you want beauty plus good moisture/temperature regulation: choose terracotta (take precautions in winter). If appearance and size are the priority and you have means to relocate the tree: choose ceramic/glazed pottery. Practical tips Only use containers with drainage holes. Use saucers or stands to protect surfaces and improve drainage. Line or elevate heavy pots to prevent waterlogging. When planning root pruning, consider ease of removing the tree—avoid deeply porous or permanently seated containers if you’ll need frequent root work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67756fdb1091921154832a9a/1746832732920-J40GDT23E3ZIQ0LO5FDE/100_3407.JPG Thoughts in The Fig Garden -
