Plant Details:
Figs thrive in organically rich, moist, well-drained soil but can grow in other soil types with a neutral pH, too.
Do not plant in any media other than soil.
Dig a hole large enough to accommodate roots without crowding. Water plant in well. If potting, choose a container large enough to allow for root growth. Upgrade container size as plant grows. Do not trim roots.
Spring. If planting outside, keep protected until outside temperature reaches 50°F.
Full sun to part sun (outside). Figs need 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. If indoors, place in a sunny window.
