Here you go:

Wow Thanks for the pics mine look nothing like those, I am going to redress them my camera is not working so I can not take photo's but there is only nada.

I bag them in moist towels and then bag in zip lock then place upon my frig how long should I wait before I see some little harry roots?

What kind of wrape are you using?
Is it tissue paper or some kind of fluffy towel?

Did you ever compare rooting with the cutting end out of the wrape and the cutting fully cvered?

I use the paper towel method with the ends sticking out. I have a couple which are fully covered and a bout 12 which stivk out every single one looks the same. should I invest in an incubator? I have some dirt here should I throw one in? I found the bagging method here on the fourm but no scucess yet. Should the bags get light or dark I have placed them net to window on a sunny day to get natural heat most of the time they remain on fridge little to moderate light. I have had no sucess last summer but then I went directly to bottle method and I beleive it was too wet so my cuttings did not root. Am a little scared this time thanks for any suggestions

Should I put dirt in the bags? I simply placed them in wrapped in Paper towels with ends sticking out cuttings still appear to be good (no signs of rot). how do they grow without any leaves or minerals from dirt, is is like a potato or onion whereby the cuttings simply sprout a little before needing dirt? I am getting a little nervous but I do have 14 cuttings of various sizes and part from the tree so Ihope 1 makes it> Thanks :)

IT's best to leave the ends sticking out because they will calluse preventing mold form attacking the ends

I have rewrapped the cuttings an d returned them a few had white fuzz I made sure the bags were dry and washed the mold away, the cuttings are eposed on the ends and are also in a plstic container I will let them sit on top the frig as I have done and wait for nature to take its course :0 Thank you all for you assistance :)))

ottawan_z5a,

I use a very thick heavy duty paper towel, just what I have around the house, I also replace the papertowel if it gets to moldy. After a few springs of roots I move the cutting to 50%UPM and 50%perlite and into partial sun. They really pop after that. Contact me if you have any questions.

ottawan_z5a,

You asked:
Did you ever compare rooting with the cutting end out of the wrape and the cutting fully cvered?

I seem to have the best results putting the papertowel on the inner 50% of the cutting, meaning I leave the top and bottom 25% unexposed.

drj, Most people clean their cuttings in a 10% Clorox solution before putting them into the plastic bags. I did not read in any of your postings that you have done this. If not, you will probably get mold
Also, most people seem to do quite well with the bag method, but others seem to never have any success with it. You might try the search at the top of the fig forum page and check out some other methods of rooting your cuttings. Whatever system you use, always clean your cuttings before beginning anything else.

I have used clorox on the cuttings infact I am trying a little expirent in one bag I threw in a pinch of root hormone while the others I left alone. So I will check it again every day if mold beings I will wash again. to keep the heat I actually bought and old hair dryer and turn it on once in a while, though not directly on the cuttings just in the box. Last summer I had tried to place them in bottles with dirt all of them rotted withing 3 weeks so I am tryinganother method maybe I'll just throw one in the ground and see what happens :)

I don't want to belabor this thread, but I do remember how frustrating it was for me when first starting out with figs - seemed like everything I did was wrong. You talk about trying to root in bottle, was this with water, or with a solid potting mix? Excessive water is a fig cutting's number one enemy. No matter the method, most people strive for barely damp. Also, did you first dip your cuttings in powdered rooting hormone? Many people have reported having rotting problems when using this powder, it seems to concentrate dampness and in itself causes rotting.
Cuttings just stuck in gardening soil will often root quite well. This past Spring I stuck 16 into the ground, and 13 of them are now nice little fig trees.

Well Iam getting mold so I am going to wash them I am striving for dampness but I do see lots of pruwn spots along the cuttings and concentrated on the ends but so is the mold. Iusually have a green thumb but with figs its hard and I really want at least 1 this time... soon I go back to work so I will not not have time to baby them every minuet of evry day so I want some results showing argg :)

I am hoping that the brown spots are roots I washed with bleach and used a toothbrush to get those hard to reach spots. but I noticed a couple of green spots while several brown ones on each cuttings. Any thoughts?

You might be pestering them to much, and kill them. Leave them alone unless the mold gets to be a bit much. When I have had cuttings that got really moldy I have just put them whole, buried in 50% UPM and 50% perlite. The get air which controls the mold, and lets them do what they do, root.
