I have two Kadota cuttings that came out with roots and leaves lately. When I found them in a plastic cups with very light weight of each, I used water sprayer to spray them with water through the side holes that I learned from some members, the first day they all looked great, but suddenly this morning, I found all leaves and branches became soft and withered as per pictures shown. Since they are my favorite fig cuttings given by one good member, can you tell me how to keep them alive or survived. Your great help to this will be much appreciated

I put them indoor for almost a month with no problem except day before yesterday, I sprayed some water through the side holes. Indoor temperature has been around 20C. I have a few more cuttings next to them, but they are all great for now.

Hi Richie, I actually removed the cutting from a plastic cup to another bigger plastic cup this afternoon and I found the dirt was not wet at all, my major problem could be due to lack 
humidity indoor (indoor humidity always remain 55 - 60 which is not good I guessed for the cutting. What do you think ?

Pacifica,

It can survive Do not give up yet . When there is green, there is life
Pull the whole thing out of the cup. Trim 2/3 of the roots. Cut down 1/3 of the 2 branches (too leggy !) . Plant it back into new soil . Wrap around the cup with some newspaper to block the light . Place the cup in a plastic bag. Tie it up . Use the fork to poke the plastic bag one time . Leaves might drop but that is fine , In one week, the plant will regain its lfie. Try it, youwill see the miracle . Give it another chance . Good luck !
