These cuttings should be around 6-8 inches in length and have nodes. Optionally, use rooting hormone to encourage root development.\n<li><strong>Create Plus Sign Openings: Take the 2-liter plastic bottle and make \u201c+\u201d sign openings on each side. These openings should be large enough to accommodate your fig tree cuttings without them falling out.\n<li><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' size-full wp-image-75300 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/writehorizon.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/MnhrqvLUyXtTuVUDGiMo6C-scaled.jpeg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1920\"' height='\"2560\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/MnhrqvLUyXtTuVUDGiMo6C-scaled.jpeg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</li><li><strong>Insert the Cuttings: Gently insert the fig tree cuttings into the \u201c+\u201d sign openings you created. Ensure they are secure within the bottle.\n<li><strong>Enclose and Maintain: Cover the top of the bottle with plastic wrap or a plastic bag and secure it with rubber bands or twine. This enclosure will create a greenhouse effect, helping to maintain humidity around the cuttings. Place the bottle in a well-lit area with indirect sunlight.\n<li><strong>Keep it Moist: It\u2019s essential to keep the cuttings and the bottle\u2019s interior consistently moist. Use a misting bottle or spray bottle to mist the cuttings regularly. This helps to create the ideal conditions for root development.\n<li><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' size-full wp-image-75297 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/writehorizon.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/04%5C/fig_higo_tree_d4a1edbf-1d6c-4e76-9d4d-3b381060194a.jpeg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"800\"' height='\"1180\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fig_higo_tree_d4a1edbf-1d6c-4e76-9d4d-3b381060194a.jpeg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</li><li><strong>Monitor Growth: Over time, check the cuttings for root development. You can gently tug on them to check for resistance, indicating that roots have formed.\n<li><strong>Transplant: Once the cuttings have rooted and developed sufficiently, you can transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden, where they will grow into robust fig trees.\n\n<p>By following this unique technique, you can enjoy the satisfaction of growing fig trees from cuttings with minimal hassle.
