Ok so I just bought a creeping fig, and have a few ?'s. What is the best way to propagate small clipping off the mother plant. I have also seen people sticking small pieces into cracks on there backgrounds, do they not need soil? Any and all help is appreciated!
what u should do is take a semiripe cutting
this contains mature stem parts and fresh tips as well
cut it diagonally right under a node
remove the bottom 1/3 of foliage and dip it in rooting hormone
stick it a cup of water with fine gravel in it so the roots grow into the gravel
I just clip a few inches and pin it to the background... Let me rephrase... I USED TO (the stuff is so invasive I stopped using it)... clip a few inches and mount it in random spots... Some clippings will take off and some wither away... Pretty easy though... To get it going, you can even take a few inches of it, shove it on some damp sphagnum, in a deli cup and put it under lights until it starts rooting...

is this an aquatic? if so i'd like some for my toads and axolotl...
I figured you could use rooting agent but everytime people talk about it they seem to be doing it the way toadpaparazzi is saying. Thanks guys for the info

I was going to plant some, but after reading posts about it, most say it becomes invasive and hard to get rid of once it takes over your viv
If you like the look, yet hate it being so invasive, you can always grow the minima. It's much harder to find, but the leaves don't get nearly as large, and it grows rather slowly so the people that like a rapid fill stick to the regular.
