Fig, secrets for its care!

The fig tree is one of the most widespread, decorative and durable outdoor and indoor plants!

The fig tree is one of the plants that we must never forget to water and its soil must always be moist and it always needs an almost high ambient temperature. Requires bright lighting for good growth. It also acclimates to moderate lighting, but its shoots become longer and its leaves smaller. The fig tree prefers a warm environment and humidity as we mentioned above is a very important factor, because otherwise we will see that drought causes the lower leaves to fall. We wash the fig leaves once a month with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) to remove dust, which will prevent the healthy growth of our plant. Fertilize regularly with BIOFYT GREEN PLANTS.

If the fig is placed outside, during the period of extreme cold or after snowfall, we move it to a warmer place to avoid its destruction. The protection of the rhizome in a period of frost is done by adding organic manure along with some sawdust (thus keeping the root warm), while we can cover the plant to protect it with burlap or a nylon bag, which will necessarily have holes for ventilation .
