In this video, we take an up-close look at some fig cuttings and learn about some of the key terms in their anatomy. I have found it very helpful to use visuals to understand these different components. I think knowing this stuff will help us become more successful in our attempts to get roots started from hardwood cuttings.
Some of the questions I hope this video answers are:
- Where do roots start on a cutting?
- How long should a cutting be?
- What is a node?
- What is a bud?
- What are those little bumps on the cutting?
- Which side of the cutting should I put into the soil?
- What is the cambium layer?
- What makes a good cutting?
