FLF cuttings
Hi all! You may remember I recently cut my FLF and he’s now a large stick. I am attempting to root the branches I cut. I just put them in water, in a bucket, in a sunny spot and change the water each week. I’d say this is week 3 or so. Today I found these white spots on each of the 4-5 cuttings but this one has the most. Is this good? Bad? Is this the rooting? Thanks for your help! #FiddleLeafFig #HappyPlants #CuttingsClub @DreamMachine @Idplantthat @Malagueña @MariansOasis @NikkiBplantmom @RefinedSandwort @SillyPlantGirl @stephongreg @MamaLinne @WormWarriorFarm

@Devsleafypals hi is the stem soft? If so it might be rotting. I’ve never seen those kinda spots.
It does look like a root is forming just above the spots
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful 🙏🏽

Hi @Devsleafypals this is good!! I got those on a philodendron I was rooting 👍. Here’s the info ℹ️:
bumpy white growths are lenticels, which mean your plant cutting is successfully beginning to grow roots!What You Are SeeingWhen a plant cutting—such as a fiddle-leaf fig or similar woody branch—is submerged in water to propagate, it develops these textured, white bumps along the stem. They are completely normal and are often mistaken for mold or fungus.

@Devsleafypals Here are some Pro Tips 😊 :
follow these quick steps:Change the Water Frequently: Refresh the water every 2 to 3 days to keep oxygen levels high and prevent stagnation.Keep It Clean: If the stem starts to feel slimy, gently rinse it under lukewarm water and wipe the slime away before placing it back in clean water.Provide Indirect Light: Keep the cutting in a warm room with bright, indirect sunlight. Direct hot sun can overheat the water and rot the cutting.

@Devsleafypals Yes!! 🙌 I pretty much did what AI 🤖 is suggesting- refresh the water, rinse off the slime, and keep in a bright spot to support plenty of photosynthesis. No direct rays ☀️ 🚫
@Devsleafypals Hi Dev! Like Marian @MariansOasis said, I’m leaning toward new root growth as well. 🥳🥳 I’m going to tag @SuperbRaspfern to be sure, but this definitely doesn’t look like scale or rotting to me!
@SuperbRaspfern @Devsleafypals @MariansOasis @SillyPlantGirl @Malagueña Woohoo! Are these root primordia then? Or adventitious roots?
@Devsleafypals
New roots! 😀
