Planting & Care

1. Planting: Keep in mind that Fig Trees perform best in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Fig Trees grown indoors should be placed by large, sunny windows or placed in a sunny spot on your patio.

Select a container that’s slightly larger than the root ball (2 sizes larger than the initial container the fig came in works best). Add a mixture of potting soil and organic planting mix to the container before you place your tree in it. Make sure your tree stands straight up in its container and give it a good drink of water until you see water coming out the bottom of the pot. If your pot doesn’t contain drainage holes, you can quickly add a few with a small drill.

2. Watering: For young Fig Trees, we recommend watering once or twice per week. Once established, your Fig Tree will need to be watered once a week or once every two weeks.

But if you’re not sure when to water, feel your soil – if it feels like it’s drying out close to the surface, then it’s time to water your tree. Give your tree a drink until you see water draining from the holes at the bottom of the pot.

3. Fertilizing: Figs won’t usually require fertilizing, but if you want to bolster your tree’s growth, do so in the early spring with a slow-release, well-balanced organic fertilizer, like formula 10-10-10.

4. Pruning: Prune your Fig during winter by removing any low-growing branches or foliage (also called suckers). Also, remove any dead or damaged branches to encourage fruit growth.
