if it is a root cutting, then i believe it is fine, but if a branch cutting i would have probably left a leaf or two on. Though being a fig, it will probably survive, just might take a bit longer.

Keep it humid but not soaked and it will probably shoot no mater what. Not as prolific as other figs but should be ok. With no leafs if it is a branch cutting may take a while or not make it but dont stress just try again.

It would be better if the bottoms have nice clean cuts - the tops look a bit ragged. The roots only come from the outer layer so it should be a nice clean cut. Keep them moist and see how they go :fc:
