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 to partial shade. The Large-Leaved Fig thrives in well-draining soil and can adapt to various soil types.
    • For container planting, use a large pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
    • Once established, the tree is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches.
    • Regular pruning helps manage the size of the tree, promote a fuller canopy, and maintain overall health.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and potential nutrient imbalances.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Monitor for pests such as scale insects, spider mites, and mealybugs.
    • Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
    • Ensure good air circulation around the tree to prevent fungal diseases like leaf spot and root rot.
