THIS FIG ROOTING METHOD WORKS. DON'T OVER THINK IT. No gnats, no moisture issues, no death by transplant shock. Other methods may work, but this is the BEST method because it is simpler and you avoid the PITFALLS of other methods. Water method is too long. Fig Pop method has transplant shock/death issues. Almost every other method had gnats killing the cuttings. And, without the plastic wrap, other methods are tricky to water & keep in moisture.
