YeeHaa!  Finally have real roots. Happened on one that I stuck in a cup of 50/50 , fat ones too. The one I rooted in water then put in 50/50 is going nuts, loads of roots even shooting up out of the cup in the air, but they are real fine like broom straw and finer. from some of the responces I got about that one I doubt it will amount to anything. But the one with the fat roots is leafing out, should I cut some of them off to redirect the enrgy to roots ?It is not in the sun light. Some of the other ones (done the same way) have leafed also but a few just fell off, no roots on them yet. Still getting mold in the bags, I`am washing every 2 days, I guess the bag is gonna be my challenge now, every one else bag roots so easy it seems.    73`s Pete

You are happily hooked now. There will be more to come.
The Forum Masters give you lessons in alternative methods and precautions but at the end it is the experience of your own failures and successes that you can lean a lot from too.
Enjoy the fun.

Even in the bag, if mold is an issue, air them out for a few hours and change the air in the bag regularly.

Congratulations!
As for the mold - when it gets really discouraging, I dip the cuttings in Captan or Daconil.  Pretty much knocks it down, but the cuttings need to be handled with gloves afterward.
It's not a good idea to remove leaves.  They will grow your cutting, and taking them off now will set the cuttings back.  Larger, established plants have enough energy reserves to respond with increased root growth - but not these "babies".

Way to go!!!  I feel your jubilation.  I have roots on my Brunswick and I just potted up an Alma; still waiting for Black Jack to get something going.
Brunswick had initials when I opened the envelope they were shipped in.  Does anyone know, are Brunswick especially easy to root?  They seem to be.  I realize there are many factors in rooting, but was just wondering, as many folks indicate that some varieties are easier to root than others.
I find that the roots sticking up tend to get 'air pruned' as they dry out and die.  Just my observation from limited attempts.
I think (this is just my opinion) that you should, if you have the means/setup, get them some sort of quality light, like a grow light or flouro of some sort.  I was chatting with another fig enthusiast (ok, a nut) on F4F chat, and he indicated that the figs need somewhere around 2000 lumens + to have adequate light.  I'm going to be trying out two CFL bulbs in a heat lamp fixture over a tub, similar to how Jon does it.  I'm putting rooted cuttings in cups, and then putting the lights overhead, just setting the lamps right onto the translucent lid for light. (as close as I can, anyway)  So the leaves will be 4"-6" from the light, until I can get them outside.  And that won't be until late April and into May, and I'll be moving them in and out at that.
Anyhow, have fun and I hope you have success!!

Has anyone ever tried treating with Physan20 to control mold?
