I was about to give up hope (and start bitching) when a package appeared on my trash can, an area of complete widespread shade. The box was smoldering hot and was throwing off serious heat for a few minutes even after opening. This was a few days ago and some of them are putting out leaves so I'll hope they have all survived. Was hoping maybe the FMV got cooked out of them but am sure that method has been tried many times before. As they start to root should I keep them indoors under artificial light for a while because it will be between 105F and 110+F most days for the next several weeks? I could give them some early morning sun until it heats up but soon the lows will be around 90F. I have all kinds of shade cloth and minimizing sunlight would not be a problem it's the heat that concerns me.  Thanks for your advice.      

Oye.  Yeah that 105+ degree weather is tricky.  At least in GA its humid enough that my transplants don't lose THAT much water when its cracking 90+ outside (97 next week, I think).  I would probably play the fig shuffle for a couple weeks, giving them morning sun before bringing them inside.  Then, as they get used to direct sun, maybe move them from morning sun to the shade, so they have to cope with the heat, but not the harsh sunlight.  Eventually you can hopefully move to full sun...eventually.

Also, if they're in pots, I wouldn't skimp on size, and maybe even paint them a light color?...they're gonna need all the help they can get not getting their roots cooked.

 Larry,  congratulations!  I hope they do well for you.  I had some get a little baked like that and they did ok.  
I didnt know they shipped this late. 

Personally, I'd play it safe and keep them inside until they are well established.  I don't want to take any chances with my cuttings.

Good luck.

Hi,
I would root them outside in a shady spot, and preferably in a small greenhouse for humidity and avoiding temp shifts purposes.
I have some 0 cost cuttings that I'm rooting directly in the ground in a half shady spot, and some are growing well. The others were probably not meant to root anyway.
Or might sprout in July as it already happened to me some years ago ... I'll have to be extra careful while weeding in those areas.
But for sure, I don't get 100°F that often here .

Ah maybe hope for me getting package.  I am jealous.  Worse than waiting for Santa.   Joyce

Thanks for all the helpful ideas, it will be even more of an adventure with the worst 10 day forecast I have seen in my 30 years here. I will keep them indoors in a small PVC framed plastic tent because we have extremely low humidity. My indoor temps are around 80F when its over 110F outside. Used to work outdoors here and back east in subzero temps. I'll take the heat over cold every time. One possible reason for mine arriving so late is I requested many varieties figuring I might only get half of them, got well over half of them and might have some plants to share in the fall.
Thanks again
