Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your dwarf fig tree live plant is relatively straightforward, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. To ensure a healthy and productive ‘Fignomenal’ fig, proper attention to its environmental needs is crucial. This plant thrives in full sun, meaning it requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If growing indoors, place it in your brightest window or supplement with a grow light to mimic these conditions. Adequate light is essential for robust growth and abundant fruit production from your fignomenal fig tree.

When it comes to watering, maintain consistent moisture without allowing the soil to become waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure good drainage, especially when growing as a container fig tree. Well-draining soil is paramount to prevent root rot. A good quality potting mix enriched with organic matter is ideal for container growing. For outdoor planting, amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage. Fertilize your indoor fig plant or outdoor specimen with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season, typically from spring through late summer. Protect your fig from temperatures below 20°F (-6°C) if grown outdoors; bring container plants indoors or provide adequate winter protection. Pests are generally not a major concern for figs, but keep an eye out for common garden pests and treat as needed with organic solutions.
