But like I said, I'm no expert.  That was just my experience.  It was a very strong and "easy" variety.  My impression is that a lot of fig cultivars (though not all) are so vigorous that you can almost ignore them... as long as they're not too soggy or too dry, there's a good chance they'll root.  (And I've heard if they have leaves or growing tips already, you'll probably have to keep it humid... put a plastic bag over it, or a cut off 2-liter soda bottle to use as a dome.  No direct sun until it's well rooted).

I've read lots of advice from experts here, and they'll probably give you more specifics.  My main advice is just to try it... learn from doing, and have fun.
