I have some handsome Florea cuttings (thank you Marius for the extras too!) back in early April with the intent on getting them started the following week. Work burried me for a month and I didn't get a chance to tend to them so they stayed in the spare fridge in the garage, exactly as they arrived, opened once to peek but sealed em back up.

Fast forward early May. We lost power due to construction for a few hours and when it came back a circut breaker on the garage accessories tripped un beknownst to me so the fridge sat idle for a few days. The Mrs tossed everything inside except for this plastic bag of "your stuff" on the bottom shelf.

Never reset the breaker, didn't know about it till last night when I went to use a drill (self watering project) and no juice, checked a few other outlets. I checked and flipped the breaker and everything came alive. The fridge was especially noisy so I went and opened it and and "hey what's in that bag?"  went through my mind.

As I opened it I was greated cheerfully by 9 Florea, 3 Yellow Portuguse, and 2 Celeste Belleclaire cuttings all fully rooted. I pulled them apart carefully this morning and there were 1-2 inch roots all the way around, no less than 10 roots on each Florea cutting. I potted them up in 1 gallon pots, watered them in and in the shade they rest.

I think its funny how not messing with them led to more rooted cuttings.

I think it's great!  I do cuttings sort of that way.  I lay them in the ground, cover them with a 1/2" soil, and walk away.  About a month or two later, I get surprises!  Congrats on all your new figs!

Vince:The Florea cultivar is the most suited to cold weather.
It has a kind of special hard wood,what is made from,like no other cultivar I seen.

I'm pretty jealous right now...   :)

Thanks Suzi, I'll call myself fortunate.

That's great! 

Were they in a plastic bag all alone?  Were there wet paper towels to provide moisture? 

An inquiring mind wants to know ;)

They were bundled together by variety with rubber bands. 3/4 wrapped in moist paper towel in a plastic grocery bag, then rolled up and taped. There was not much moisture in there, probably kept them nice and healthy. I would have overwatered them for sure.

Vince, thanks but a very kind member gave me a few cuttings and with great effort one rooted  :)
