I'm new so bare with me, I've got a brown turkey fig tree that is over 60 yrs old and I want to root some cuttings from it. I will try the paper towel in a bag on some and want to try putting some in moss. the only moss I can get is the fine ground up peat moss. can I use this to layer the cutting in to start them rooting

Dott, try at least 1 cutting direct potted into a plastic cup of potting soil with a sandwich bag loosely over top of it. Give it a tsp of water along the wall of the cup each week and you may get roots in about 4 weeks. Worked for me! Keep it somewhere warm, about 70 degrees or so, and not in direct sunlight.Zone 7a in Virginia

I have tried paper towel, cup of water, shoebox of moss, box of potting mix etc etc They all work but all have disadvantages as well. This is the method I am using now and will continue to use going forward. To me its the easiest overall and im having the best success with it, in regards to rooting. http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-ho...ng-propagation2022: The year of figs and a new love of Citrus thanks to madisoncitrusnursery.com

Welcome to the forum! People are having success with coco coir methods and perlite methods as well as Mai's method in LouNeo's link more than some of the others. The crucial principle is to give the cuttings both moisture and air and try to keep the temperature over 72 but under 78.
Here's a bunch of ways
There are several methods for rooting fig cuttings with an almost unlimited amount of variations practiced by each grower, the successful methods all have solutions

Hello Dott,
Welcome to our figs forum community.
Many methods and materials can be used for pre-rooting fig cuttings including plain peat moss, as long as its used and kept barely damp and not "watered" for the initial Pre-rooting stage. I pre-root with Coco Coir (Plant It brand) due to its consistency, well aerated texture and ease of use.Pete R - Hudson Valley, NY - zone 5b
