Hey everyone TONYSAC here i was wondering... I'm no stranger to rooting cuttings but i am a stranger to sphagnum moss I've never used it its kinda self explanatory soak it ring it out and layer the cuttings in between like a sandwich etc right ? but my question is in the past i have never kept track or even checked the temperature in the shoebox/Tupperware etc i cant seem to get it any lower then around 84 deg its in my food storage closet its the only place the a/c doesn't get besides the boiler room (too hot) do you think i will have a problem with 80ish degrees i can try and put it on a lower shelf but i don't think t will help 

Just a little bump no one responded yet ??

I've rooted a lot of cuttings at warm temperatures and without bothering to let them callous off or let initials form.  My standard method involves potting up fresh cuttings in a soil mix that is at least 1/2 perlite.  The mix and cuttings go in a 16 oz clear plastic cup with holes in the bottom for drainage.  I water lightly, set the cups in a propagation tray, and have the tray sitting on a heat mat that is at a constant 80 degrees; the temp is higher during the day if my greenhouse heats up.  The last time I did this, I had success with three different fig species: 25 of 25 cuttings put out new growth and/or roots in about 3 weeks.  I realize that they all may not make it, but they look pretty good at the moment.  Others may beg to differ, but, based on my limited experience, I'd say not to worry too much about those temps.

Tony,

84 is fine. Just air out the cuttings/moss for a few minutes every day. I use a heat pad during Winter and room temp during Spring/Summer and it gets pretty warm around here. Good luck!

Thanks air out indeed i did that last year with 25 cuttings and they all took and i gave them away but it was the temp i never watched
