Default Propagating fig from cutting?

...

"Propagation: Fig plants are usual propagated by cuttings. Select

foot-long
pieces of dormant wood, less than 1 inch diameter, with two-year-old wood

at
base. One-year twigs with a heel of two-year branch at the base may also

be
used. Dip the cuttings in a rooting hormone and allow them to callus one

week
in a moist place at 50-60° F.


Does this mean to not plant them immediately? If not, what is considered a
moist place? Just leave them exposed to air, but under a cover?

Thanks! This is a great excerpt!
