Propagation /Transplant Question - Timing

17 years ago

Hello All,

In the past, I have successfully rooted several cuttings using both the "baggie method" and by placing the cuttings directly into a cup of 50/50 perlite/vermiculite, combined with warmth and humidity in rubber-made tubs. I have historically always done this in early or mid spring so that once roots and leaves developed, I transferred into pots (in a light potting mix with 50% perlite) and gradually introduced outdoors. Then, eventually into bigger containers with a more suitable perlite/compost/etc...mix.

About 7 weeks ago, I received some very special cuttings and have rooted them. They are at the point where there is good root development and leafing. They are still in the rubber-made tub in a warm spot, with high humidity.

Question - what would you do now?? Here in Northeastern PA, outdoor temps will not be suitable for figs until late April / early May. Should I leave as is for a few more weeks in the plastic tub? Or, transplant now and reduce humidity and grow indoors as sort of a "house plant" until time is right for outdoor introduction?

Looking for some advice...thanks in advance.

Joe
