Take hardwood cuttings from a healthy, dormant fig tree in late winter
Cut 8 to 12 inch sections with several nodes
Make a clean cut below a node
Remove any leaves or buds from the lower portion
Dip the cut end in rooting hormone if desired
Plant the cutting in a moist, well-draining propagation mix
Keep at least one or two nodes above the soil surface
Water lightly to keep the mix evenly moist
Place the cutting in a warm location with bright, indirect light
Maintain high humidity around the cutting
Wait for roots and new growth to develop
Transplant the rooted cutting into a larger pot or garden location
Propagate by air layering on a healthy branch
Wound the branch lightly and apply rooting hormone if desired
Wrap the wounded section with moist sphagnum moss
Cover the moss with plastic and secure both ends
Keep the moss moist until roots form
Cut below the rooted section and plant it
Propagate by dividing suckers or root shoots from the base of the tree
Separate the sucker with roots attached
Replant it immediately in prepared soil
Water thoroughly after transplanting
Protect young plants from direct harsh sun and frost
Keep newly propagated figs consistently moist until established
