Seems like most of my cuttings prefer a higher humidity. I've been usingb the damp paper towel/sphagnum peat (sp ) in a ziplock bag but, for ease and time saving, I prefer rooting in a little pot of soil. All cuttings thus far need bottom heat.
I just moved a set of Conadria cuttings from a container filled with sp but tore some of one of their it's roots in trying to untangle it from the sp. It looks like it may survive but I took note

I'm gonna try rooting with moist soil less mix at the bottom of a ziplock bag, sticking the rooting end down in that then covering some of the upper portion with moist sp. Then tying the top of the bag together with a rubber band to keep the tips aired and to keep the tops from rooting.

Hopefilly that will keep the roots from getting tangled and torn when I try to repot them and keep them moist warm and happy.

Rooting is not s much fun as eating figs but there is a satisfaction in seeing a stick transform into a tree.

I tried rooting with green sphagnum moss in plastic shoe boxes last year. I had the same difficulty with tangled roots so this year I'll keep each cutting in it's own bag. I thought the rooting in a bag method would work well for this and not be too costly or time consuming. The green moss did well and kept the cuttings from rotting, but this method does look good too.

everyone has slightly different method of rooting the cuttings. i earned to root from this forum using paper towel. jon's new baggie method with soil mix seems to indicate some sort of soil media will help root faster. 

i prefer to monitor each stage to make sure my cuttings are progressing. so i go through baggie with paper towel, cup, then 1 gal. however, if i don't see roots in baggie by 4th week, the cuttings will go into cups regardless. usually, it's 50/50 at that point. some will root at that point and grow well.. some will not response and will die off. 

personally, i think rooting a cutting and growing it into a tree is like a magic. it still fascinates me every time i root a cutting.
