today when I unwrapped my Deanna fig cuttings to inspect for roots, I found one that had a baby fig, the barest begining of a leaf and not a root in sight. There was another that had a fig and a tiny budding leaf beside it and a teeny tiny root. The third one was still napping. I hope that having my first baby means that I am not a DUFF. Designated Urban Fig Failure. Keep the growing tips coming. Joyce

I find that i have roots in 14 days but i allways get leafing and small branches. I root in trays in the dark but still get buds and leaves. No figs though
I root in moss or coir in plastic barkery trays that food comes in wrt with vitamino. After using vitamino i had much faster rooting. What your method

i use a wet paper towel. zip lock bag. and wrap bag in bubble wrap. I store in my mini green house in dish pan with other cuttings and a reptile light. My other cuttings are producing roots and leaves normally. Thanks for the hint on vitamino. I will get some Friday when I go to the old fashioned seed store. I got some double bricks of coir at petsmart for 4.95 and will use members rooting ideas in plastic cups with perlite and coir mix.
