An upside-down clear jar or plastic bottle can also be used. The goal here is not only to maintain high humidity, but also adequate ventilation. Lifting or opening the lid once a day will help reduce mold and disease.

When the roots appear
When you see that the cuttings begin to produce new leaves, it means that they have developed a good root system and are ready to be transplanted. In any case, it is best to grow them for a year in the same pot so that they become stronger.
You can transplant the following spring, either in the garden soil or in a larger pot, one of 20 liters or more is perfect for fruit trees.
Cuttings do not automatically grow into lush fruit trees. Rooting is the first sign of success, and new leaves are another.
However, the fruits take up to three years to appear. And success is a numbers game. If you plant five cuttings, you might end up with one fruit tree.
