Results according to plants
The time required for rooting varies between species. Rosemary develops its roots in 4 to 8 weeks. Once the roots are formed, transplant the young plants into small pots. When they have grown and formed a small bush, you can transfer them to larger containers.
For the fig tree, an even more surprising variation of this technique exists: the branch is not completely separated from the tree. Simply make an incision on your chosen branch, then place a bag filled with water around that area and secure it with a tie. The fig tree forms roots particularly quickly, in less than 4 weeks. Once the roots have developed, remove the sachet and completely cut off the rooted branch.
Adaptation of the method for other plants
This technique is available according to needs. For vine cuttings, you can replace the sachets with containers made from plastic cups filled with water. Vine cuttings root very well with this method, although the process takes a little longer than for rosemary or fig.
Lemon trees can also be successfully propagated by this technique. However, to obtain a lemon tree producing quality fruit, it will be necessary to carry out a subsequent graft, which represents an additional step in the cultivation of this citrus fruit.
