Figs are a food loved by people, they have a rich and sweet taste, with multiple effects such as cough suppression, suitable for all ages, from young to old. Figs are not only edible but also offer high visual enjoyment, making them an excellent ornamental tree species. Nowadays, people not only enjoy growing flowers and plants but also gradually start to grow fruit and vegetable plants, which are both delicious and visually appealing, why not? Today, the editor will share two methods of planting figs with you. Planting a pot not only allows you to enjoy green plants but also can bloom and bear fruit the following year.
The first method is cutting propagation, which is a method applicable to many plants and is also very simple. First, cut a strong fig branch, about 20 to 30 centimeters long, remove the lower leaves, leaving only the top two or three; then make an oblique cut at the root of the branch to allow the plant to absorb the nutrients in the soil to the maximum extent; then soak in a 0.2% rooting hormone solution for 20 minutes, and then dry it.
After drying, insert the branch into sandy soil, place it in a ventilated area without direct sunlight for about 15 days, and you can see the roots grow, then take good care of it. Before summer arrives, it is necessary to repot and transplant it into a flower pot filled with nutrient-rich soil for growing flowers, to ensure the healthy growth of the fig plant.
If well maintained, delicious figs can grow the second year. The second method is seed propagation. Figs can also be grown from seeds. Just take out the seeds from the fig flesh, wash them with clean water, and dry them. In spring, first soak the fig seeds in warm water for a day to promote germination.
Then spread them into a flower pot filled with sandy soil, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and cover them with a plastic bag, making sure the soil is moist; finally, place them in a shaded and ventilated area, and the seedlings will sprout in about seven to ten days.
When caring for figs, it is necessary to add nutrients to the plant every spring. You can choose some organic fertilizers like cow and sheep manure and bury them in the soil, but do not over-fertilize or let them touch the roots, as this may burn the roots. In the summer, make sure it gets plenty of sunlight, preferably in a place with direct sunlight, and water it normally, so the fig tree can grow quickly. Generally, it can bear abundant fruit the second year.
It is worth mentioning that figs are plants that are not afraid of the cold, so they can also be maintained outdoors in winter. As long as there is enough moist soil, they can easily survive the cold winter. With normal watering, a fig pot can yield hundreds of fruits.
