Insert the cuttings: Carefully place the fig tree cuttings into the holes you made in the “+” sign. Make sure they are secure inside the bottle.
Protect the cuttings: Cover the top of the bottle with plastic wrap or a plastic bag, and secure it with rubber bands or twine. This creates a greenhouse effect, maintaining stable humidity levels for the cuttings. Find a bright spot that receives some shade and place the bottle there.
Keep it moist: It’s crucial to keep the cuttings and the inside of the bottle constantly moist. Mist the cuttings regularly with a spray bottle or misting bottle. This helps create the perfect conditions for root growth.
Observe for growth: Check the cuttings periodically to see if the roots are growing. Gently pull on them to test if they resist, indicating that roots have developed.
Transplanting: Once the cuttings have grown roots and are big enough, you can transfer them to individual pots or your yard, where they will flourish into strong fig trees.
Remember, this special method of growing fig trees from cuttings requires little effort but demands patience. You might not see significant changes for a few weeks, but the end result will be well worth the wait. Wishing you an abundance of fig trees!
