replace the wet paper and spray diluted hydrogen peroxide on the cutting, but if you have mold on the paper towel, you've probably waited too long, or they need to breathe. Actually seems to me like these bags should have some air flow and holes as long as the moisture is maintained.

The reason to not dip directly into the container of powdered or liquid rooting hormone is contamination. If you're not worried about that then go for it. I would always suggest using a shot glass/solo cup or whatever extra container just in case. This method looks great for temporary space saving. For example, you could fit a ton of these bags vertically on a heat mat or on top of a dryer to utilize that bottom heat. In my experience, if you're going to cover the entire cutting in an airtight bag you should dip them in a disinfectant such as diluted hydrogen peroxide first - it's easier to prevent mold in the first place than deal with it afterwards. Thanks for sharing, now on to check out your sand propagation method. I've been using coco coir because it's my favorite to work with, using Korean Gardener's bag method, but I always like seeing what others are doing so I can optimize my method whenever necessary.

I was rooting fig cuttings for the st time over a month ago, and I got 100% rooted. I bought 10 cuttings from 2 different sellers on Ebay. The percentage of success was > 100% because I got 12 fig plants out of 10 cuttings ( cut 2 of them to 4 cuttings cause they were too long). I used the cups and larger plastic bags, and put in peat moss, perlite and compost. I didn't plan to use compost, but all my perlite already mixed with compost. At that time I hadn't watched Korean gardener's channel, so I hadn't known how to preserve them in the fridge). Lol, I bought totally 8 four cf bags of perlite and after the years I don't have any perlite left in any bags ( I kept them outside because they were too big, and the rain ( rare in the high desert CA, but still have) destroyed the paper bags, so I had to mix them with compost.) My cuttings didn't show any results after 2 weeks, because I didn't use the heat matts continuously in the first 10 days. Then when I started to turn on the heat matt permanently, they just took off. I also saw the clip of Korean Gardener, but at that time I was rooting already, and didn't have that kind of bags. I think I almost killed the cuttings, because the 10" x 20" trays with the tall humidity dome I used wasn't tall enough, so whenever I close the dome, the lid hit the tops of the cuttings and that could break the fragile roots that were about to form. I was lucky they still alive. I'm rooting over 10 varieties of figs like Black mission, VDB, Adriatic JH, Latterula, Olympian, LSU purple, YLN, Madeira Island black, Governese Nero AF, White marseille, White Ischia, and 2 UK Italian varieties and other tree cuttings in the last 2 months. I bought the nylon bags similar with Korean gardener's ( a bit larger) and the tote, the coco coir, new perlite... I think the mixture of coco coir and a small part of fine perlite would be airy and also hold moister very good. The peat moss retains the water more than coco, but naturally peat moss could prone to rot easier than coco coir. Potting soil, compost.... could also make the risk of rotting rises up much higher.. Just finished bagging another 28 cuttings. The rest I put them in the fridge and I have some batches of fig, mulberry cuttings are still on the way coming. The paper towel method in this clip I heard about this many years ago, but never tried that. I don't think the success rate is very high for this, simply because the new fig roots would get no support from the media like other methods. They also can't grow very long because the limitation of available water and the obstacles around, so it would be harder for them to get rooted and grow roots healthily.

Many plants don't necessarily need rooting hormones (such as figs). It is just simply an insurance policy to help spur those roots along. You can cut some willow branches and stick them in water with other cuttings you have. Willow branches create their own natural rooting hormones. If you buy the Garden safe powdered rooting hormone I believe it is a natural rooting hormone as well. There is also a chamomile tea rooting method that I will do a video on in the future. Thank you so much for the great question. Happy growing!

You need to slowly acclimate them to a new environment. They're going from 100% humidity. So when you pot them up keep a misted bag over them or put them in a small enclosure with a humidifier, or fan blowing over a bucket of water, etc. Move them outside to a shady spot for 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the next, etc. do this for a week or so giving them time to adjust.

Discouraging, but thanks for sharing your true results! I sort of think little nuances in how people perform these methods (like the time of year, how wet the paper towel, or what temperature you keep your house at) may explain why one person has success with one method, and another with a different method. Maybe for you either the Fig Pop method, planting cuttings in a tree pot on a heat mat, or sticking them in a pot or the ground outdoors will be more successful. I’ve used the fig pop method so far, but I plan to give this method a try with a few of my cuttings this year. I place the fig pops on a heat mat. Undecided where to put this wet paper towel cuttings bag, since I keep my house at 64-66°F in winter which may not be warm enough. I guess I will just pick a cabinet and see how it goes! 🤞
