propagating figs

Do figs have to go through a dormant period? The reason I ask is I took stem cuttings of a fig in September just prior to the plant going dormant for the year. I stuck the cuttings and placed them in a greenhouse, the cuttings quickly dropped their leaves but then eventually rooted and put out top growth. I transplanted them individually and most had a pretty good root system but about 3 weeks to a month after they were potted I noticed about half of the plants leaves are turning yellow. I know there could be several issues causing this such as watering or insect but I am also wondering if figs have to have a dormant period.
