I have been online, particularly YouTube, looking at rooting methodology for cuttings. Two that peaked my interest were the three cup method, championed by Dave on the forum consisting a planting in a clear cup with drain holes. A clear cup tapped on top pressed into service as a humity dome creating a mini, macro humity chamber. Then that system is placed in a colored cup to serve as a sunblock for roots that would develop.
The second system, seen on YouTube, is a simple pan i.e. Lasuania pan with a cover. You would layer a pea / pearlite mix, I believe a ratio near 80% pearl to 20% peat. You would put a layer of that concoction and then lay the cuttings down horizontally. Then another layer of the peat / pearl. Moisten it down ever so slightly put a top on it and as Ron Poppell would say "set it and forget."

I set some cuttings I received about a week ago to see which would root first. To my surprise. The pan method produced roots where as the tree cup method hasn't. So I put the ones in the pan in cups today so they will finish out and start leafing out. The cups I am still watching. Now I will add the slight possibility that there are roots in the cup method. I didn't take any cuttings out to test the hypothesis.
In the pan I had one cutting that developed roots on every node. Don't know how you deal with that. I planted the whole thing hoping a new stem will push its way up by Spring.

This is brought to you for your educational consideration and of course comments. Will try and post some pictures when I get to my MacBook Pro. Hard to post from the iPad.

Hi Mike 
The one  you get with roots on every node I woud cut it between the nodes and pot every piece on it's own. Every piece should give you a new plant.
Another way would be to lay the whole piece in the pot  but,you might get one shoot per node.
Hope it helps.

The "Pan" method works very well with plastic shoe boxes with the key being barely damp potting mix and put them in, and LEAVE THEM ALONE for 2-3 wks.  They gain nothing by you opening the lid and looking.  You can see the roots through the clear shoe box when they develop.  When they have a good root ball I take them straight to 1 gallon pots. 

I see that. I wasn't really trying to play Christmas with them or checking to see if Santa came yet. I looked a saw roots coming to the surface! I just couldn't believe how fast they rooted compared to the other method.

here is how i root.
I started this method 4 years ago and altered and upgraded when I found what works best.

I have tried the pan method and cups and many others. For me the success rate was much higher in the cups. However, the pan cuttings that did grow developed more vegetative growth during the season than the cups but the rate of success was 1 in 4, 25% as opposed to more like 90% in cups. So who knows, I think there are so many ways to root figs because our individual environments may favor certain methods. I root cuttings indoors at a constant 75 degrees under 12 hours per day LED lamps in humid East TN. I use two transparent cups with one a dome until I have good leaf growth. I feel blessed that I usually get 90% or better now that I have my soil and soilless mixes and watering down to a constant routine. You must find out what works for you then perfect it, try all of the ways you can.....one will stand out for you!
