Went out to look at my one lonesome, frozen fig this afternoon. Last summer it managed to put up three sprouts which got all of fifteen inches tall before fall.

Snapped off the first four inches, dead. Snapped another four inches and got green wood. Took my shears and cut it off down into the ground and darn if it did not come up with some 4 inch roots. Cut off another one of the sprouts at the ground and came inside with two cuttings.

Following the methods I read of here I wrapped each cutting in paper towels wet with well water. Put them in a ziploc bag on top of the hot water heater in the closet in a back bathroom.

What are my chances of getting live plants from these two cuttings treated as I described? My alternate plan is to get some clear plastic cups, fill them with perlite and put the two cuttings in them.
