• Cuttings were in 18oz clear cups inside humidity bin in my basement - about 65° F
• Lots of roots, so transferred to 1 gallon pot and decided to move a bunch outside to the hoop house
• Outside hoop house - about 73° F with some humidity
• Leaves are drooping on many of the cuttings

Frank if the only problem is shock from change of environment and the tree is healthy it might drop those leaves and the put on some more. The new ones will be acclimated to it's new home. I had some do that and worried but they came back.

That's comforting to hear, Gene.  Thanks!

In the future it might be good to move them to their new environment for a week before unpotting them so they don't have both stresses at once. They will be fine.

Thanks Brent.  I thought about that, but since the outside temps fluctuate so much right now, I decided to move them to larger pots thinking they have more insulation.

Frank...I have been trying to use a more gradual approach this time around(lost too many plants last time)...cuttings have been in root riot environment(70* temp/80% humidity)... so after uppotting to 1gals. I place them in plastic bins with flip top lids(5 pots per bin) and put them outside in my back yard under a 'pop-up' tent for shade...I spray the entire inside of the bin with a spray bottle, and then close the lids completely for the first day...then on day two, I spray the inside of the bin again, and leave one side of the lid open for several days, in order to very gradually get the little trees accustomed to outside conditions, while still maintaining some level of humidity...then after 5 to 7 days of this, I start taking them out of the bin and placeing them on a table (still under the shade of the tent)...then I gradually expose them to some "dappled" sunlight(eg. under a tree or under a trellis or some lattice work)...have not exposed any of them to direct sunlight yet(maybe in a couple of weeks)...so far I have done this with 55 trees with only 3 casualties...way better than my previous attempts.






  

Vince, that is a lot of figsitting! you are a real trooper. let us know how it works at the end! I was looking at some cuttings I had inside of upsidedown bottles (with no bottoms) and I could see the little clear worms (gnat babies) crawling and being chased by tiny little mites... Even saw one being caught... the mite was 1/50th of the size of the larvae..and it just perished to the attack...so I think puting them out there was good for these beneficial worriers to come in..so, the shock of the temperature is just one of the many components that the transition from inside to the outside... my cutting looked fine, but not sure for how long.   wish I had a magnifying lense and I would make a video of it...

I'm happy to report the leaves have perked up on 90% of the plants this evening.  I had placed 53 in the hoop house yesterday, so to only have a few still droopy isn't too shabby.  Today's high was in the mid 60s and cloudy.  The hoop house had some comfortable humidity and I think it was just right.  The next several days are going to be in the upper 70s and 80s so I hope they're good to go.

So long as the roots are good, you'll see new leaves. I had several get shocked bald when they went outside. They are now putting out new growth.

First leaves dropping off is not uncommon. Droopiness before dropping is a bigger red flag.

jon's Panache, one that rooted, was moved from humidity bin inside my house and directly left out in the outdoor in 1 gal. no issue. i kept it under the shade for few days then started giving partial sun. doing fine. i do this with most of my cuttings. once they have good roots, and good tops, they go into 1 gal, and left out in the open under shade or partial sun. no issue so far. 

are you giving too much sun? not enough or too much water? too dry outside?
