Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Figs thrive in hot, sunny climates.
    • For container planting, use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist, but allow it to dry out slightly between waterings.
    • Once established, Fig Trees are drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches.
    • Regular pruning helps improve air circulation, manage the size of the tree, and enhance fruit production.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and fruit development.
    • Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Monitor for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and fig borers.
    • Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
    • Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases, such as leaf spot and rust.
