Very neatly done…Rooting ,and up potting too many cuttings feels like chaos…🪴🪴🪴🪴💨but I’m gonna root them in water from now on. A clone table with an intermittent misting system is what we use professionally for hardwood cuttings. the backyard grower could use a

(dewey mister) for cloning. Healthy roots, and very little risk for failure.

Absolutely too many at once can get overwhelming, whew! It’s the up-pots that kill me, lol. I’ll have to look into a dewey mister, sounds promising. Hope your water rooting goes well!

Love this, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I started some fig pops before I read a lot more on some of the issues/challenges. I’ve had some success so far but have had a few rot based on less than ideal medium that held too much moisture. I am going to try the tree pot pop next with an inert medium and excited to see how it goes. Definitely following along with this series to experiment and find what works best for me. There is a good chance I’ll be buying rooted cuttings/trees in the spring but the cuttings have been a fun experiment while it’s been too cold to do any outdoor gardening here.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I definitely encourage experimenting with different methods and seeing what works best for you. Some people will love a method that doesn’t work well for someone else, it just jives with them in a better way. So who knows, maybe Fig Pops will be your go-to. Whatever the case, have fun with it! I know I really loved playing around with different things when I was learning how to root. 🙂
