Welcome again Angela, you will find this is a great forum, always someone to help you when in need, or just talk about figs and other subjects. I root dormant and green cuttings and have really good luck with both, although I had a miserable first year and with the help of Frank (FMD) I found this forum. I think the main thing is to keep your medium(whatever you use) warm. I root everything in one gallon pots using mostly pine bark fines, peat, compost, and perlite. Most members do not use this method, but I live in sunny Florida and root all year long, outside. Last Dec and Jan, I successfully rooted CdD Noir, Kathleen Black, Ronde, and Violet Sollies outside even with some cold days(brrrrr 40deg at night only 60deg daytime), but most days were in the 55-80 range. I think the sun on black pots keeps the roots warm and the cool air slows the leaf growth. The good thing about this forum is that you will get a lot of ideas. So good luck and good growing.
