The bigger the pot, the larger the plant.

I bought few tiny little fig plants ( brogiotto nero ).

Cut them to the ground and set the tiny cuttings for rooting.

I had very little hope because the wood was very slim and weak.



I used different media and most of the cuttings have rooted. Tried some air layering too and after 10 days success



Some of the cuttings were in media holding too much water and they rot. I was able to save some of them by cutting the rotten spot and setting the cutting in perlite. One of the cutting was so tiny after i cut out the rotted spot, apx. 1sm (half inch) so I had to cover it all with dirt. I shared my experience with rot in this post

Today my little cuttings have become beautiful fig plants. Some reaching 1.8m (6 feet). Even for me it is hard to believe that the plant from the image above today is one of these:



Looking at the pictures above I cant help but notice-some plants are taller and bigger then others. And then I saw.

The bigger the pot the larger the plant.
