- Hey Fig Fam,
I had a lot of leftover fig cuttings from my fridge and I needed to make space in my fridge. I was still hopeful I could hold out on these poorly stored fig cuttings in my crisper drawer and with the cool weather at the time of late winter / early spring, I threw them in my garage to stay.
Well I forgot about them. and months later as the weather warmed it was no longer a safe place for the cuttings to be stored, but I was busy. So they remained in my garage until this week when I decided to give them a go a propagation and rooting them into trees.
To make matters worse I had run out of fresh rooting & potting mix and I had to work with the old stuff laying around in my nursery!
So this is what I did to remediate the cuttings and hopefully found some viable cuttings and soil for them to grow in this warm weather outside...
...Check it out and let me know your thoughts Fig Fam!

Be interesting see the out come Phil whether they root out
Yes! That’s the goal to see their resiliency to see what cuttings are capable of, as well as seeing how viable healthy cuttings can be
Enjoyed the video, hope they root!
Thank you! You'll see them in the next video!
Be interesting to see results. I have some old cuttings I took back in December and just threw them in a bag and then in the fridge. They were backups for cuttings I took at my grandparents homestead. I have plants now from there but still have these old cuttings. Maybe I should try them and see if they work. Thanks Phil.
Hey Thanks for the kinds words! Dave I would go for it man I think it would be a fun experiment if you have the space and time to do it, cheers!
When I have cutting failures it's always been fungus gnats.
Oof those gnats can really ruin a cutting - I try to keep a fan on them at all times to keep the gnats off of em
You need a professional wrestling entry theme. 😂
😂 oooo that’s a great idea
Phil, didn’t have you pegged as a milk-in-coffee type guy
lol - sometimes I gotta cut it with something! I’ll drink it black too haha
Phil - question. I’m a complete fig novice. I bought three Strawberry Verte cuttings from a seller on figbid in the spring. All three rooted successfully. However, one is showing pretty blatant signs of FMV. These are were started about 60 days ago. Should I trash the one symptomatic to FMV? Thanks. Matt in Mississippi
I wouldn’t trash it quite yet. I assume most fig trees have been exposed to some degree of FMV. It’s very present in young cuttings and often times it will grow out of it. Just let it be for a bit and see how well it recovers and go from there! Happy growing!
