Materials to Gather Before Rooting: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rossraddi Pruning shears: For pruning and scoring the bottom of the cutting. Rooting hormone (optional): Although optional, I would highly recommend using Clonex as it can help form a strong root system before too many leaves are formed without the support of a root system. Parafilm or buddy tape: For wrapping the cutting to maintain moisture. Soil mix: A well-draining mix with materials like rice hulls, shredded bark, perlite, vermiculite, pro-mix, coco coir, peat moss, or even worm castings and compost. Treepots (4 inches by 9 inches): For the direct potting method. Plant tags: For labeling your cuttings. Use vinyl blinds and a pencil. There’s nothing more affordable and longer-lasting. Ziploc bags (6 inches by 14 inches, 2 millimeters thick): For the Fig Pop method. Rubber bands or file bands: To seal the bags for the Fig Pop method. Grow lights or heating mats (optional): To maintain the ideal temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit for rooting fig cuttings and to help fig cuttings grow indoors. Fertilizer: A diluted fertilizer well balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer to help support the fig cuttings' growth and health later in their development.
