Well, after receiving some cuttings from the members here. I wrapped the top part of the cuttings with parafilm, cut the bottom part of the branch, scored the base, dipped it in some rooting hormone. I planted them in 32 Oz Pho' togo cups. Placed them in clear plastic bin. Humidity is 99%, temp is 69-71 degrees. It's been a week and I'm waiting for something to happen. My question is... what should I be looking for to maintain a good chance of roots to come out. Any comment is welcome.

I prefer to preroot in spag/coir until I see 1/2"- 3/4" root,usually about 10 days if the cuttings are fresh.
It gives you more visibility into the process and you can pot them individually as they show root.

In as you've went the direct potting route a parafilm wrap to the media line makes the humidity bin redundant.What you're looking
for is bottom heat at 80f to speed up the process.Your existing temp's will work,it'll just take longer.

If the cups are clear you should block the light from getting to the cups. Roots don't like the light so much. The bins I use that are clear have a 4-5" folded strip of newspaper taped around the bottom of the outside of the bin. Mine are all unheated and root growth in a 60 F room is very good.

Takes me anywhere from 2-4 weeks to see anything in sphagnum moss. Depends on variety.

I prefer the direct planting method, although some varieties work better in sphagnum moss first, and vice versa too. I sometimes do both. Yes, 2 to 4 weeks. It can tale longer with a bit of bad luck thrown in. I have also found that those figs with a long ripening season, meant for warmer climates, respond well to heat while rooting. Not all, but some do, so I use it. Any variety known to be hard to root may benefit from heat.

How long does it take?  Everything depends upon the growing, environment, the cutting, the growing media, etc. some take longer.

In some of the hotter peppers it can take 90 days to germinate seeds, 2 different things but a similar question.

I have some Brown Turkey that are just starting after almost 2 months.

Thank you for all the input. Another question I have is... do I water them regularly? I have a spray bottle ready but I don't want to over water. How do I judge the correct dampness of the media (perlite, spag, little bit of potting soil)

I'm no expert, but what I do is when I think it needs more water I wait 2 more days then give it a little bit. It's hard to kill them with lack of water. Very easy to overwater and kill them.

Truer words about figs have not been spoken, TorontoJoe!

Let me be more ambiguous for a moment.... I have some cuttings that looked like this after two or three weeks:

 

I also have several that were part of a batch started last September where I've just now spotted roots. And yes, I've lost more than a couple. 

IMO the best way to keep yourself from getting frustrated is to better ensure success by getting cuttings from different sources and trying a bunch. Perhaps with a few different methods....Enjoy the process and not just the wins....take losses as a challenge and learn from them...Don't give up. If I can do this anyone can...

Great question, lots of great information, thanks everyone

Hey Mike!

I just noticed signs of life on a cutting that I started months ago and it reminded me of this thread. Any hint of your first roots?

Finally seeing some small leaves sprouting. No roots yet. I did took the cuttings outside the bins as few were showing fungus. I think I need to pick up some heat mat as the temp doesn't go above 67 degrees.

Good stuff. A heat mat can help with rooting. The sprout is a good sign the cutting is alive and I do like leaves as they're a good indicator for watering....But roots are paramount.

What does the fungus look like? Fuzzy stuff? For this I use 3% hydrogen peroxide. dilute 50/50 with water and use spray bottle to mist directly on fungus. Harmless to people and plants but gets rid of fungus quick....

Please post some pics when you can. Curious to see your setup....
