Growth environment

The root system of fig is relatively developed. Large cultivation containers such as large tile VATS can be selected. At the same time, it also requires large growth space, which is suitable to be placed in open places such as balconies and courtyards.

watering

Generally, we can determine the amount of water according to the growth status of the branches and leaves of potted Fig. in spring, when the branches and leaves begin to germinate, the amount of water can be reduced to keep the basin soil moist. As the temperature gradually rises, the branches and leaves begin to grow. When they enter the fruit setting period, they need to increase the amount of watering. They need to be watered once in the morning and evening. If the watering is not timely enough, it often leads to the withered branches and leaves of fig potted plants and fruit loss. After entering the autumn fruit ripening period, the amount of water should be reduced. Too much water is easy to cause fruit cracking. Pay attention to rainy weather, not only control watering, but also pay attention to ponding in the basin, and avoid waterlogging.

Soil and fertilizer

Fig does not have high requirements for soil, so it is suitable to choose fertile and breathable substrate for potted fig cultivation. When planting or changing pots, organic fertilizers such as rotten cake fertilizer need to be added to the pot soil, which is conducive to the flourishing of fig branches and leaves and early fruit bearing.

Pruning work

The growth rate of fig shoot is fast, so we need to pay attention to timely pruning and shaping in daily maintenance. For potted fig, if the trunk is too high, it is easy to affect its beauty and increase the difficulty of usual maintenance. Therefore, the trunk of potted fig must be limited to an appropriate height and cannot be allowed to grow. The specific methods are as follows: when the trunk of the seedling grows to about 20 cm, the head tip needs to be cut off to promote the germination of branches. According to personal preferences, trim the shape to improve the viewing value.

Overwintering measures

Figs are not cold resistant, so before entering winter, potted figs should be moved indoors in time. The place for indoor maintenance is suitable for sunny and ventilated places, such as balcony and living room. In winter, the growth of fig gradually stagnates and enters the dormancy period. At this time, water it reasonably according to the temperature. When the room temperature is high, you can pour a little more water. If the room temperature is about 5 ℃, you need to control the water and keep the basin soil slightly dry, which is conducive to the safe wintering of fig potted plants.
