Can't tell you how many cuttings I have lost doing rooting that way. Too much humidity here and I water too much. I'm going with the Fig Pop method this go around. The absolute best results I have had so far is rooting in sand outside. Other than that they rot. Since most of my trees will set a Breba crop I will only prune the tips or extra full trunks. I like a 3 Trunk Fig Tree, One grew out with 10 trunks, one 8 trunks, numerous with 6 trunks. Those are the ones I will be rooting this winter. Our upstairs is much warmer than downstairs in winter. We use a set of propane Logs to heat the house since its so open. Being 26ft to the center of the Vault in the main loft most of the heat rises so the plan is to pack them in the totes and place upstairs. Thank you for posting as others not living on the Gulf Coast will have much better conditions to root figs in than us. They can make use of the videos.
