Rooting Fig Trees w/ Pro-Tips & A Step-by-Step Guide to the Fig Pop Method

This video is a step-by-step guide to rooting fig cuttings. Propagating fig trees through the direct potting method and fig pop method are covered with suggestions on the tools and materials needed for rooting, including pruning shears, rooting hormone, parafilm, Ziploc bags, and rubber bands. I'll show you how to create a fig pop, emphasizing the importance of getting the right ratio of soil moisture, as well as the right temperature for rooting, which should be at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of the video, I also give some pro tips, such as using the method that works best for one's situation, keeping the process simple, and diluting fertilizer for the fig cuttings.
