what have you done so far with the scion , is it in a baggie , a cup or?
Little more information and some others might chime in.

ok well Dieseler, i have just accomplished the figs in a cup tonite.but i have 3 or 4 in a baggie

Hi Bellski,
i like to put mine in our small  laundry room where the water heater and furnace are and close door partially it being the warmest room in the house.
That might be an idea if your looking for warmth, also ihave read and heard some people make a box and put a bulb in there to create some heat.
I nmy opinion heat around 70 or 72 will help them root a tad bit faster than coller temperatures.
But in a home with cooler temperatures they will root eventually maybe not all of them but some will root.
Here is a nice presentation that the moderatore Jon did on rooting figs its simple and works.
To let video load properly after i open it i click the mouse in the screen and it pauses it and lets the video catch up .
Its a good video for folks to watch and im sur it will help you.
Here is the links its 4 part series each being 10 minutes long

Does the two glasses in the light (in cardboard box) have bottom holes for water drainage?
Somehow it appears the rooting mix too wet to me. If really wet then it can cause rot of the roots and cuttings.

The frig is a good heat source, but generally the heat comes from the coil on the back of the frig, or underneath it. Putting the box around the cups, will prevent the heat from warming the cups. Best is when the frig has a cabinet above to direct the heat over the top of the frig, and the cups. Drain holes in the cups are a necessity.

well they are not in the box i just put them in there to put dirt so i wont make a mess,yes i have holes in the bottom of the cups

ottowan i just watered it,my uncle go it from his friend it doesent hold moisture and the re is some purlight in it and i am not putting rooting hormone on it because it seems to rot the roots quicker
