Carini Fig Cutting 12/31/13 |
I noted a branch which I had pruned off earlier, but did not save the cutting properly and it dehydrated in the fridge. Today I cut it back closer to the trunk. There are roots, and a small green bud.

This looks OK. That looks alive bodes well for the main tree as well.
Okra Seedlings and Fig Cuttings 12/31/13 |
The Dominick fig cuttings have nice root initials along the stems. They look like they are ready for a great start. It's only 2 weeks after starting them.
I rinse the cuttings every other day in plain water. When the paper towel starts looking stained or mildewed, I discard it to compost and replace with another water soaked, not quite dripping wet paper towel. This time I used a diluted houseplant food, designed to use as a weak solution.
All cuttings, and the seedlings, are on the heating mat under a one-bulb fluorescent light. I need to get a timer for the 2-bulb system. Someone who I won't name liberated the previous timer, leaving me with this one.
The Baby Bubba Okra seedlings are not as lanky as the Dwarf Green. They probably don't have enough light. The light is on 12 hours, off 12 hours.
