Fiddle Leaf Fig Cutting Update + Potting Up New Citrus, Papaya & Hardy Fig! 🍊🌿💜 // Garden Answer 

Let's all say it together, like a chant 😊 HART-LEY! HART-LEY! HART-LEY!

Just so you know when I hear the words "The Hartley" it absolutely makes my day. I have been following you since you lived in the last house next to your in- laws. I have seen EVERY video and the videos you did when you toured The Hartley Greenhouse at the flower shows. I have just waited for the day when you announced that you would be getting one. The day you announced that you were actually getting a Hartley was huge day for me and all of your followers I'm sure. Thank you for taking us along so that that we can live your dream along side you.

No no not "glass greenhouse " Laura its called The Hartley . Dont pay attention to the negative comments. Have a wonderful and blessed day!😊

It’s ok, you can call it The Hartley. One person’s envy shouldn’t ruin it for the rest of us who aspire to have our own Hartley one day.

I'm voting "Hartley" instead of "glass greenhouse" too! It helps me dream of someday winning the lottery and owning my own Hartley. :)

Bologna!! Its "The Hartley" I bet if you put it to a vote.....The Hartley would be the winning name!

Laura when you said "glass greenhouse" I had to take a second(maybe longer) lol to figure out what you were talking about. Ah ha it's The Hartley!

Laura just call it the “HARTLEY “, because it is… 😁 I love that you would refer to it as it is.. A Hartley!! I would want to say that a hundred times a day, if I had “A HARTLEY!” 🌸 The plants all looked good!!

I would be so proud to call it the HARTLEY!!!

You don’t call a Twinkie a sponge cake with filling, therefore it HAS to be the Hartley not glass greenhouse.

Sure liked hearing "the Hartley" instead of the glass greenhouse, 😊.. Another great video..

Good morning!

Good Morning. I totally enjoy you referring to the “glass greenhouse” as The Hartley; I mean it is a Hartley why not call it by its name, Benjamin isn’t referred to as the boy, lol.

Laura has so much energy and gets so much done - she's in her own time warp!

Noticed you called the Hartley the glass greenhouse; probably in response to someone commenting on it last week. Just wanted to say that I absolutely it being referred to as “the Hartley” and hope you continue to do so. It’s definitely a cute name. Thanks for this video!

I am so excited to see all these small trees 🌳 in the Hartley 😀 #hartley2021

Good Morning !! Am I the only one who pauses the video and looks over Laura's garden on pause to look at everything out there to my content? I'm like ''Ahhh....there's our garden''..😂 Living vicariously in your garden Laura!! Beautiful !!!

Booooo, “the glass greenhouse”. I vote “the Hartley”. 😊 Great video!

Good morning everyone!! 🌸🌺🌼🌷🌻

I agree! I love it when you say “The Hartley” . You have named other parts of your garden, so why not?

Good morning Laura and to all garden answer fans ❣️🌷🌹🏵️

A whole new word of growing in the heated Hartley! How exciting, enjoy!

Good morning! 🌻🐝

The white things on FLF cuttings are clumps of cells some plants produce before pushing out roots. Never scrap it off!

I would LOVE a tour of the high tunnel and what you have stored in there! :)

Agree with all you guys….. The Hartley has a really special meaning for Laura and us faithful followers

Anyone else want to see the whole drive to and from the cold frame out to the new property? I was like slow it down girl and film all the way. I want to see what you see.

I watched the video about fiddle leaf fig care on Saturday then ordered on Home Depot. Now I have an update video and my new tree arriving next week!! 💃🏾 💚🤗

Getting things ready for the Hartley!

When Laura says hopefully she has success...🤣🤣🤣. That is a given since she has magic garden powers. Love all the new plants!! 😄

All of these are going to look fabulous in your Hartley. I’m excited to see it all come together and watch your dream come true.

Hi Laura! I took a cutting from my fiddle leaf back in March after I watched your video. It took forever, but after the roots started, they went gangbusters! I just potted mine up about 2 weeks ago and I have 2 new leaves too! I’m so excited! You’re an excellent teacher! Wishing your family all the best. 🌱❤️

Honestly, your speed Laura! I feel like a was just in a whirlwind! I’d love some longer videos, just can’t get enough.

It's such a gratifying feeling when a propagated stem of what ever you try duplicating takes root. Roses are my biggest challenge. I'm so happy to see your success with the fiddle leaf fig! Keep it up its so much fun.

Calling the Hartley the glass greenhouse is like calling a Jeep an SUV. Yes the statements are true but they both are known for their characteristics and have earned their names and I see no reason to feel you need to use a generic label. Love you guys!

Good morning from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 I love watching your enthusiasm for growing new varieties. We are tropical so there are your new plants growing throughout my neighborhood. Good luck with them all. I think the Hartley is going to get a real workout 👩‍🌾👍

Benjamin will have so much fun eating the Kumquats! I have such fond memories of eating them as a child, no mess and delicious.

You're going to love the citrus. That Hardy Fig looks like a topiary now that you trimmed it, it is going to be gorgeous

Please no glass greenhouse - If you take votes, I vote Hartley!

Good morning ❤️🌱👍

Do you have any advice on making cuttings from rose bushes? My grandmother recently passed away. Unfortunately, our family is not able to keep her house. I would love to take cuttings from a few of her beloved roses. While it won't erase the heart break, I hope they will remind to smile more when I think of her.

Laura, get some weeping willow branch. & put it in with the fig cuttings. It acts like a natural root stimulator. Plus take all the leaves off but the top leaf. Fig trees like slow release lime. Tomato fertilizer and fish emulsion as well. I’ve been growing fig trees for 4 years. And if you store it in your insulated garage over winter. (CH- no colder that 25 degrees)It will not succumb to die back. This will let you get two crops. (Brebra & main crop)

Good Morning Laura & Gardening Friends. Those pots are just so lovely. They really add beauty to what’s being planted, whether it be trees or plants. 🪴

I hate the heat, my heart goes out to you, God bless

New Gardner in Ohio: I always get excited to be introduced to new plants, flowers, etc. Thank you Laura

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents 😁 i think the time warp footage looked so cool for that project!

Good morning 🌞☀️!

The fig tree is my favorite. I love making fig preserves. The neighbors love them too. Pear preserves are my favorite. Thanks for thinking of us today.

Good morning Laura and friends! Rainy day here. Enjoy your day!

Wind knocked off the entire top of a young fig tree this Spring here in Florida. I left the naked pole of the fig just as it was, planted in the sandy soil under the palm and stuck the top in a pot filled with soil under dappled sun and it is growing so well, and my fig 'pole' grew a nice new head full of leaves. Hardy folks, those figs! The peel of a kumquat is the BEST part. Most of my citrus have wicked thorns! Once they are a tree it doesn't matter since I pick mine with a fruit picker (metal pole with curved pitch fork 'fingers' to pull them and basket underneath to catch them). So a small tree may be like picking wild blackberries - painful but worth the work once you're eating the jelly or cobbler. I love figs no matter how they are eaten but favorite is fig preserves with cheese and crackers! Good luck. I planted a kumquat 15 years ago and it died during an unusually cold freeze (FL) then it produced a new tree from the root stock which turned out to be native North Florida Sour Orange. Wonderful for mock key lime pies but very sour!

For anyone who gets a lot of rain, mix bark and perlite into the soil along with other things that will open up good drainage for the fig. They WILL experience root rot if they sit in soggy soil.

I was always told not to touch plants at the ends or they would die. Then you touch them all the time. It shows the love of plants and anyway my Mom didn't know anything about them. I have learned so much from you. Thank you! Joyce

It is a wonderful feeling to root plants..

They are going to be beautiful in the Hartley 🪴🌺🪴

Beautiful Greenhouse! Rooting is fun, I root in my compost containers where I am growing vegetables, Yes rooting roses, fig trees and other plants. Love your videos! 😊

Good morning Laura and Family!

I think I would be happy just to live in your greenhouse. Especially with a view of that lush weeping willow!

Fun project. Getting so excited for the Hartley. The cold frame is looking empty.

I grew up in south Louisiana and had a wonderful cumquat bush in my yard. I don’t remember thorns? And I ate them all summer long. I guess there are different varieties. Wish my dad was still around to ask him! Love all of your repotted plants today and we followers are almost as excited about the Hartley as you are!

Good night from, Brisbane Australia as a 13 year old boy

104 in SLC sick of this heat wave. I will take 50s- 70s and rain. Lots and lots of rain. I've always wanted a fig 🌳.

So glad you stuck your fig cuttings in water. It's the easiest way to get new plants and so thrifty. I always stick mine in wet sand and soil when I trim the suckers from my brown turkey figs and they root more often than not.

What an Absolute delight you are! Have a Great day!

😍Good day to all! What a beautiful selection of plants. The ‘photo tags’ on the trees is brilliant-I wish all trees came with the picture ID. Can’t wait to see them all taking their place in the Hartley. Enjoy the day 💚🤗🌿🌼💚

I can’t wait to see how beautiful the Hartley will be filled with things!! I got my first lemon tree and already had pests!! But, now it seems to be doing much better!! Thank you for doing what you do. You are both and inspiration and educator. It helps a lot to see your beautiful plants. Your “let’s see how this does” attitude has helped me be not so afraid to try the more “difficult” plants. I mostly garden indoors but I’m a little more into the outdoor now and in part credit you for opening that door!!

I can't find my comment to edut, so I'll just stick it here. On the Hartley issue: another thought is that this is a beautiful gift from God. We don't want to minimize His blessings.

I absolutely LOVE your greenhouse Laura, this is my dream one day!! And love your new trees but OMYGOD, your Fiddle Leaf cuttings turned out GORGEOUS!! I love getting new free plants from my existing ones!!💖💖💖🥰

I needed to cut my fiddle leaf back. Perfect timing.

Hey Laura I was raised in Belize 🇧🇿 Central America and we had Guava trees growing in our backyards. They're delicious fruits but they have millions of tiny hard seeds in one fruit. To combat that we made guava jam with the entire fruit skin and all. We ran the pulp through a sive strainer combined it sugar and lime juice until it had a jam consistency. The fruit has such a distinct smell and flavor its heavenly. I think you'll love it.

Awesome rooting on the figs! I've found my cuttings root faster when I use water from my goldfish patio pond.

Oh my..a little envy here.Love that you were able to propagate that Fiddle Leaf.Ahhh.I love em.

Watching you do all these projects makes me "need" a greenhouse. I have to research and figure out where on my property here in VT I can put a cute one. I would love to work in a small greenhouse on my own land.

Laura, this planting was awesome! I love the way you think ahead for the Hartley and challenge yourself with new plantings. The Chicago Fig was a favorite . Can’t wait till your get the Hartley done!! Thank you so much for sharing.

I got a Chicago this early spring but it was tiny. It is doing great in my 4”terracotta pot. I hope I can train it to keep it like yours. I use to live in Hawaii, I wished I had appreciated guava trees and plumerias and so much more. Love all the pots you used today and those sturdy tables Aaron made all lined up looks sooo nice!

I don't know who has been doing the music for the past few months, but I'm loving it. I be jammin... 🎶 💃

Good moring

I have a huge fiddle leaf fig that was given to me when my Father died 13 years ago. I have gotten two nice clippings from it and plan to give one to my sister. And it’s time for another haircut so more clippings!!!!

Good evening from Victoria, Australia.❤️😀

Good morning Laura and family Laura its a sense of accomplishment.....thank you

The hardy fig is super pretty!

I planted three hardy Chicago fig trees about 11 yrs ago and now they’re over 12 ft tall and produce large amounts of fruit. The first years they would die back and rebounded in the spring from the ground. Now they keep their old branches and start fruit right away. They’re easy trees to grow:))

Good morning 🌷🌼🌸💐🌹⚘🌺everyone ☕

Beautiful garden.. 🌿🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌿

I bought my first lemon and lime tree this year after watching your videos with your citrus trees! ❤

Wow look.at all those cladiums there gorgeous...who else thinks Laura's magic thumb will get fruit early ...

Love the Chicago hardy fig. Such a beautiful plant💚

Thank you Laura definitely need to cut down and propagate my Fiddle Leaf Fig! I have been putting it off, but have new motivation!Great project for a rainy day here in the Finger Lakes. Also just had to share that years ago I lived in (1980) Tulsa, Oklahoma and the summer I moved there they had over 58 days in a row of over 100 degrees! So I feel for you! Now I melt at 85 degrees because we often get high humidity too! Oh well you take the good with the uncomfortable! Always have your videos to enjoy when I’m inside no matter what the season! 🤗

What beautiful specimens! I'm so glad you will root the Chicago Fig cuttings.

That time warp part was actually cool!!

The blooms produce the fruit for the guava. 🥰

Good morning 🌄 💐😍☕🥰🌼🦋🏵🌼

I do believe I see rootstock shooting thru the kumquat. I would double check as kumquat generally do not have the large thorns I see.

I first found you on RU-vid by searching for "propagating fig leaf". You gave me the courage to shape, trim, and cut off healthy leaves from my cuttings. Needed to know what the actual rooting would look like…and how to proceed from there. I am having unexpected success with this plant in our new home along the Southern California coast. THANK YOU for this follow up!!!

Your kumquat tree foliage and thorns looks just like trifoliate orange, which is commonly used as rootstock for other citrus varieties.

Hi Laura, no questions able this vlog. I just wanted to tell u years ago, here in West Texas, I remember the summer was unbearable. 3 months straight it was 100° & over with no rain. I seriously considered moving to another part of Texas. I wasn't a gardener then so I can't remember how plants fared, but we survived by doing a lot of every day chores & errands after 7 or 8 pm. If I can survive that weather, u can too. Stay strong & thanks for all the knowledge u bring us.

Did anyone else like the time warp feature!?! I really thought it was cool. Laura if you had not told us, I would have just thought y'all were trying a new thing out. Loved it and Love you! Great video like usual. Always learning something. My husband hears about the "Garden lady I watch" all the time and is beginning to think I have an obsession.....lol. YASS! an obsession to learn.

I agree! I like The Hartley! It’s like a name in itself! Your fan club knows!!

I agree with the other comments saying please still call it the Hartley!! Glass green house sounds fine. But the Hartley is something you’ve wanted for years and you deserve to call it by name!!

I vote Hartley!! It is what it is!! Keep it simple!!

As always a fantastic informational video. Thank You
