Originating from the Ficus genus, jamaican cherry fig is propagated primarily through the cutting method, which involves using healthy, disease-free stem sections. For optimal results, cuttings should boast multiple leaf nodes, as these are key spots for root initiation. It's essential to maintain a humid environment for the cuttings, which can be achieved by covering them with a plastic dome or misting regularly. Rooting hormone can enhance the success rate by stimulating root growth. Once roots are established, transplant the cuttings into soil with good drainage, rich in organic matter, to encourage robust growth.
