I just rooted 4 Moringa branch cuttings, I watered it once so the soil was damp, the mistake people normally make is over watering, rooting branches like that do not require much water, I didn't put any hormones on mine, it just takes patience and a bit of water, and even If I use a rooting hormone, I use Aloe and that works incredibly well

Mike you have done it again. Rooting anything you can get your hands on. It is a success. That is important.

Did the same with a large fig tree, with a 10cm trunk and about 150cm high , I had it in a very large plastic pot that died to root rot after a rain storm at the end of the spring, I sawed of the rotten bottom of the tree until I hit fresh wood, put some steril media in a bag added hormons and opened up a few minor holes in the bag bottom and tied the top of the bag. Moved it into the garage so the wood wouldn't dry out from the sun, a few months later I had roots and branches

Not figs, but I have succeeded in rooting any size of Opuntia ficus indica (Indian Fig Cactus) cuttings and also sections of Yucca elephantipes trunks just by digging a hole and planting them in the soil. I grow figs and took three suckers off my (comparatively small, 3 ft tall) parent Black Turkish fig, and apparently, they have all taken, by just planting them in the soil! I noticed this morning that one of the transplanted suckers has new Spring growth (I live in the Southern Hemisphere), so I will have to check the others later.

The roots of the tree are bad, they aren't growing in the right direction, they should be growing down straight vertically so then they can reach the water that is acumulated in the ground. They are in spiral, in horizontal direction and growing up, not down. This is because they arent planted in the ground, but in a pot that is too small for the right growing of the Roots in the time. When these trees with these bad roots are planted in the ground, they can't survive too much because of this problem. A way to revert the problem is cutting this roots that took the bad direction, including the mother root or the first big root , so it can continue growing in the good direction or branching in the right direction.

Awesome! Thank you! Much more to come. I have a really cool idea that popped into my head one night a few weeks ago. It's been dominating my mind lately, lol, but it will have to wait until early spring. Excited to get started!

That’s awesome! And Beautiful Family!
