I used a mix of Fafard 52 along with 50% perlite.  So my guess would be it has about 60-70% perlite. 

Yes, I use Dip N Gro at 1:10.  Maybe this is causing too much roots to form that the plants can't support.  

The Black Mission cuttings were short, a little green, but rooted great from the sphagnum moss bags.   I've had cuttings from Navid, RCantor for example that just went nutzoid and rooted/sprouted without problems.   There just seems to be so much variability from source to source and variety to variety.

I potted these up initially about 4 wks ago and put them in a clear tote with the lid on, by the window.   It seemed cold to me and so I moved them over the register a few weeks ago, but I think the damage was already done.

The ones that are left are rooted, but still not doing anything after a month. But as I said, I will continue to wait.  Roots are a light brown color.

Thanks to everyone that is trying to help out.   The loss of the Maltese Falcon really ticks me off.  I'll try to add some more photos soon.

photo 1  shows what the figs look like in the tote

Photo 2 shows how the tote is situated over the heat vent

photo 3 is the tote covered with towels to trap heat

photo 4 shows figs growing next to the window at the beginning of the growing stages.  There are Hollier figs that are younger than the ones that are still sitting there in the dormant tote.  Some of the Genoa figs were at this stage when they began wilting.

Photo 5 shows my third and oldest tote full of leafed out figs.

thanks

Looks fine, they do stall sometimes.  If you are worried, sometimes the winter's effect in the coldness of the floor will affect the speed, so a 80 - 90 degree seedling heating mat under your tub/tote may help encourage wakening and snuggling of the babies!

I placed a thermometer in the plastic tote.   The reading is 80 degrees.

Dan, I've started my cuttings at the same time - Dec 22, all started in damp sp moss.  A few rooted within 7 days, I waited for more roots and cupped on the 16th.  there are some that haven't rooted yet and are still in sp moss.

Out of those I cupped on day 16, about 7, 3 had sprouted out, about a week later 3 more sprouted and the 7th is just starting.  I've cupped up 3 more about a week ago, s are just starting an the third is growing roots and it looks like the terminal bud dried - but there are roots!!

Update.  I lost all 9 of the White Genoa and a JH adriatic (from another source).    I had hopes of being able to save 1 of the 9, but sure enough, the leaves began to wilt yesterday and it's gone.

Above is a link to another thread, but I don't think my problem is the same.   Attached are 4 photos showing the best I can what I'm seeing.  I believe these are neither microscopic nematodes or Fungus gnat larvae.  

Not really worried about the White genoa.  I'm worried about it spreading, as it may already have done to the JH adriatic.

Any ideas what these are? 

It seems to be caused by soil being too wet and at the same time it remains too cool.  Too much water keeps the soil cold and it causes rot. I have had the same problem a few times. We are so afraid of drought that we drown our plants.

Thanks Sal. Ordinarily, I would agree. But those white worms are troubling me because I don't know what they are. I had healthy roots and top growth only to have this come in and take them out. Not happening on most of the other varieties. Yet!

Yeah fungus gnat larvae have a dark head, and a darker midline.  I agree that it isn't that - at least from the pics.  I have no idea... :P  Hopefully someone can help out...

Few years back i was rooting in S.Moss and noticed those white wiggly things.
They my have been in yours to begin with as well.

I had similar. I was able to cut the damage area and start the rooting process again. I saved a few. I did not see these worms you have, but my cuttings were soft and something had eaten the middle core of the cutting.  Sucks! that is all I can say. It sucks!
