What is hiding underneath the plastic sheet?



       

              They are my fig cuttings. Up to date i have about 175 cutting which cost me 3K. I’m collecting  fig cultivar. The self pollinating fig that are  already  rooting are Sal’s, Masui Dauphine, Madeleine, Dauphine, Black Madeira, White Genoa, Purple Jordan, Adriatic, Fig from Greece (? Cultivar) and Lattarula. 

                 There is few more cultivar which is not rooting yet which i’ll update later.

              I also have Turkish figs, 2 were brought by my Turkish friend (? Cultivar) while i bought therest. The cultivars that i possess are Goklop, Sarizeybak, White Patlican, Green Patlican, Green fig, Purple fig, Brown fig and Mininut fig. Goklop and Sarizeybek need to be pollinated by fig wasps, Patlican fig from Izmir is self pollinating while from other region are not. I’m not sure about the other fig since it doesn’t have specific name which i can check. (Reference from Turkish Agriculture University)

                 The other fig that needs fig wasp for pollination is calimyrna. However an Indonesian friend told me that he gets to eat 10% of calimyrna fig even without help of fig wasp. I bought the non self pollinating cultivar as part of my experiment.

    1. Insyaallah kalau cutting tu hidup sampai beberapa bulan, pokok tin ni mudah berakar tapi mati pun mudah, setengahnyaq akar dah penuh bekas dah tinggi setengah kaki , hari ni tengok subur, esok tiba tiba mati.

    1. insyaalah kalau byk cutting yang hidup, tapi tak de la nak jadi tauke cuma utk koleksi peribadi. beli keratan byk risiko, keratan senang hidup tapi kalau keratan yg sampai dah berkulat alamat buang duit aje la.

    1. batang tin dah lama dalam transit, bila tanam senang berkulat. medium guna full perlite sbb mmg steril, tak banyak simpan air mcm sphagnum moss. saya perasan ada organisn yg halus mcm hama suka duduk kat celah2 spaghnum moss yg lembab
