This is what i like from this site, got so many knowledge about propagate, rooting and new varieties of figs that i never know before.

Just wondering if i got some cutting of that awesome Black Madeira.

Nice job rooting!

thank you for the video.

why would you not want slow release fertilizer?

so, the cuttings kept in the fridge since november?

also, did you use antifungal in your water that you wet the moss?

thanks again.

At this stage there is probably enough nutrients in the soil mix for the cutting to grow. I've never done a comparison on starting cuttings with slow release fertilizer and one without. The cutting is putting energy into growing roots and then the leaves develop almost separately but it takes time for the two to work together so its not necessarily taking up nutrients from the soil like a mature fig tree does. Slow and steady wins the raise type of deal. You can probably keep cuttings for over a year if you routinely inspect them and keep them damp and change the paper towels or newspaper periodically to prevent mold issues.

Some people say that the moss has it's own anti fungal properties.

Anyone have cuttings themed like to get rid of?

Not going to find them on this old thread! BM is a rare and expensive variety - if someone is offering you a steal, it's probably fake. Stay away from ebay as many of the fig sellers there are scammers. Go to a dedicated fig forum (ourfigs.com) and lurk for a bit. If you contribute to the forum, someone may help you with a cutting. If you go in like you did here, they will just point you to one of the places selling online. Most of these have sold out for the year.
