Grow Your Own Figs at Home: Simple Steps for a Bountiful Harvest
- •Learn to propagate fig plants from cuttings, a method of growing new plants without seeds, using branches from an existing plant.
- •Select a healthy, semi-hardwood cutting (6-12 inches long, pencil-thick) from a mature fig tree, making a 45-degree cross-cut below a node.
- •Prepare a loose, well-aerated soil mixture using coco peat, sand, or perlite in equal proportions, ensuring it's damp but not muddy.
- •Plant the cutting in a pot with drainage, burying at least two nodes, and create a 'mini greenhouse' with a plastic cover to maintain humidity.
- •Place the pot in a well-lit spot without direct sunlight, monitor soil moisture, and wait 4-8 weeks for roots to form, indicated by new shoots.
