After reading a post talking about getting a single cutting of a kind of fig i thought i would be nice to to find out the lucky or sad folks out there. unfortunatly for myself i am on the sader side of the stick but have a bit of luck.

with your one special cuttings how did you fair.

I received one cutting each of 7 from a member.  100% on all!  Amazing!  I had one shot, and they all rooted!!  No need to mention what their names are.  But just saying one shot can turn out well!

Thats awsome. i guess when i have only one shot i try to hard and it doesnt end well. the albique petite rooted rather quick and vigrous though i must say.

Dave what kind of rooting setup are you working with?  I've had damn near 100% this year with clonex root gel in a ton of different mediums and different conditions.

100%!!  I received 1 Panachee and it is fabulous!  I waited for it to have good roots then put in a 32oz deli cup.  It also started to root towards the top but let them dry up.  I am trying to pace/space out the rooting due to space constraints around the house.

I do have another cutting that is the one and only but am waiting a little before I attempt it.

I have to say I had very good luck this year. I bought 16 single cutting varieties from Brugsmania-Quebec and all rooted fine. Jury is still out on whether 1 of them is going to make it after leaves wilted.

Pop back up. What's your system

In my case the rooting success is different from the survival success.
I had 4 each of M. Falcon and Nero 600, 2 of CDDG, 2 of Abebereira in February. Rooted nicely 2 of each variety, all died a month later :(
I started about 14 different varieties, only those 4 gave me a hard time, the rest have grown up to 1 gal or more.
That was esp. sad since I paid the $$ for the MF, Abebe and N600 cuttings. The Abeberaira is that bad for the second year in a row.

On the other side, the RdB cuttings were totally bad ass! Every one rooted, even the ones that looked super miserable and had 0% chance from my point of view.

I had one sweet george last year and it didn't make it. None of my florea made it either. It may have been from over watering though.

I've gone with 100% course perllite in clear cups this year which I think helps prevent over watering. Its easy to feel when the cups are dry by their weight. I have 5 cuttings going now all rooted well with good green growth on top. I water them maybe once every 5 or 6 days and let the excess water drain out. The leaves start to sag if I've left it too long before watering but they rebound as soon as I water them.
