Potted fig saplings in September and October: fruits cover the branches in 6 months, more than you can eat

Nowadays, not only are more and more people growing potted flowers, but many are also growing potted fruit trees in their own yards or on balconies. After all, the principles behind potted fruit trees and potted flowers are much the same; as long as you manage water, fertilizer, light and ventilation well, that is enough. Now that we are well into autumn, this is not only the peak growing season for flowers, but also the best time for potted fruit trees. As for which fruit trees to grow in pots, gardening enthusiasts may all have different ideas, but I strongly recommend growing the fruit tree below in a pot. Not only is it easy to grow, it also produces an abundance of fruit! It is the most common of all, the "fig tree."

What are the advantages of potted fig saplings?

First of all, the fig tree is a very easy-to-grow fruit tree variety and adapts to ordinary soil conditions. My hometown is in the countryside, and there is still a fig tree growing in the yard. Every year it produces more fruit than we can ever eat, and instead the little birds peck at it. We had to cover the fig tree with a fishing net. This experience is among the fondest memories of my childhood. Besides being easy to grow and producing lots of fruit, the fig is also a good thing. It is rich in nutrients and helps strengthen the stomach and cleanse the intestines, and it can be eaten by both the elderly and children.

When is the best time to pot fig saplings?

Generally, spring and autumn are the best times to pot figs, because the climate is suitable in these two seasons; the weather is neither as hot as summer nor as cold as winter, making it the most suitable time for potting fruit saplings. Compared with spring, September and October are very good opportunities right now; if you pot the saplings now, they will bear fruit in less than half a year. When potting fig saplings, you need to pay attention to some small details. For example, pick a day with good weather and transplant early in the morning. For the soil, you can use ordinary garden soil or leaf mold used for growing flowers. After transplanting is complete, water thoroughly once, first place it in a cool, ventilated spot for three to five days, and then move it to a place that receives indirect light.

How can you make potted fig trees grow fast and bear lots of fruit?

When it comes to vigorous growth and abundant fruit, fertilizer is of course indispensable. Pot growing is different from ground growing. If you have a yard, you can grow it in the ground, and then you can safely apply various organic fertilizers, such as barnyard manure and chicken and duck droppings. If it is potted, then you need to pay more attention to care knowledge. After all, the nutrients in a pot are limited, and the soil is limited too; there is only so much space, so you need to fertilize more frequently. It is recommended to apply some nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer every month, and before fruiting, apply more potassium fertilizer, which helps with fruit set. As fertilizer, you can use decomposed soybeans as organic nitrogen fertilizer, and routinely spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate as phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In this way, the fig will be covered with fruit on its branches.

Potted fig trees are simple to work with and require only rough care and management; even people who have never grown flowers can easily get the hang of it. Why not give it a try in this current solar term? Who knows, the figs you get might really fill a basket!
