Aeroponic rooting

Has any tried rooting fig cuttings through aeroponics? If so would like. To hear if you had any success.

There are a couple threads on this already with some good info.  Short answer is yes, it works well with figs. I have done it.

  I guess I'm just not as super as Mario...   I got roots to develop, and then 78 of eighty cuttings promptly rotted in the 'Death Machine'.

The buried bucket method used to work in Illinois for me. When move here; Springhill, LA; too much ran in spring. Got in the bottom of the bucket and rotted the cuttings. So if I'm able to get any more fig cuttings need another way. Just bought a Aeroponics to try. So thought I would write and see.

Does that mean as soon as see roots they have to go in soil?

NO WAY!! AHHHHHH that is a bummer. The reservoir temp was a bit of an issue for me.. To tell you the truth, coco grow in a ziplock works pretty darn well, which is where those LDAs you sent me are. LMK when cutting season comes if I can send something your way, maybe even get you  a little tree going.

Oh no, Blue! "The Death Machine"?! Lol..,i had the same happen. I rescued about 30. I burried them in pots & left them alone. This is what worked best for me, for my climate & schedule after trying all of the methods!
