These are two ficus cuttings I took from my grandmothers tree I want to say a month or two ago. She wasn’t sure what kind it was, I did some research and beleive it’s ficus alii, please correct me if I’m mistaken! I plan to let one grow free
I put them both into glass jars and filled with water, and I gave one a couple drops of liquid rooting hormone in its jar just to compare. They both started rooting about the same time but the one without (rooting hormone) seemed to grow roots quicker than the one with but the one with grew more roots.
later the one with seemed to get roots turning brown and I just assumed it was because the roots were more mature. Watched some YouTube videos and turns out it was root rot! So I started changing the water more often and it’s coming back!
I read somewhere that hydrogen peroxide helps fight against root rot but I’ve only seen it used in potted plants when watering but not added to water irrigation.
so, 2 questions I have;
1. Am I safe to pot these cuttings with the amount of roots provided or should I wait until root rot is 100% gone
2. Is it safe to put hydrogen peroxide into the jar with roots and if so how much?
