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.
