Air layering is a fantastic propagation technique that can be particularly effective for fig trees. This method involves creating a new root system while the branch is still attached to the parent plant, ensuring that the new tree retains its genetic characteristics. To start, select a healthy branch and make a small incision on the bark to expose cambium. Apply rooting hormone and wrap it with damp sphagnum moss, securing it with plastic wrap to create a humid environment for root development.
