Hi Joel,

I can trade you cuttings of my own fig varieties I got.
let me know the right time to exchange shipping address.
Thanks ... Joe

your doing perfect leaving your fig cutting in perlite and keeping simi moist.
come spring time in your zone after frost danger plant fig tree.
dig a hole 36 inches deep - 20 inches wide 
and buy 2cu ft bag of red bark from HomeDepot or OSH or Walmart
and a bag of potting soil. remember to fill hole with
water first .. let it drain ... then mix both bark and soil.
Plant half of your stock in soil for good root development
or just lay entire stock 2 inches flat <_ _ _> under soil
again to stimulate root hardiness (I've done this and it
works great)
use very low Fertilizer or none until new leaves emerge.
once you see leaves feed with miracle gro for trace minerals
or lite amount of cow/chicken/horse manure for leaf production.
