What to do if your potted fig won't fruit? One little trick will have it covered in branches full of fruit in no time
Fig, also known as "heavenly immortal fruit," has in recent years been gradually introduced as a potted plant. Placed indoors, it not only greens up the home and beautifies the environment beautifully, but also purifies the air, absorbing dust and smoke from the air, which benefits your health, and the fruit it bears is delicious and tasty, making it highly favored by people.
Many people grow figs, but potted figs often fail to fruit, which is extremely frustrating. Master one little trick and they will quickly flower and fruit, so densely packed there are almost too many to count.
Fertilizing is very important for a fig to flower and fruit, and it is also a key step that determines whether it will flower and fruit. Many figs grown at home grow extremely vigorously and are very lush green, yet simply refuse to flower and fruit. In fact, a large part of the reason may be too much nitrogen fertilizer, causing the branches to grow leggy, which leads to the failure to flower and fruit.
Therefore, when fertilizing figs, you must fertilize reasonably. Before flowering and fruit set, focus mainly on phosphorus and calcium. For example, bone meal contains a lot of phosphorus and calcium. When caring for flowering and fruiting plants, you can keep some on hand. Of course, you should also reasonably apply some nitrogen and potassium fertilizer as a top dressing, which can make figs flower and fruit quickly, hanging densely all over the branches.
Moreover, besides paying extra attention to fertilizing, you must usually place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight. With ample sunlight, its fruit will be large and bright red, and the taste will be even sweeter. If there is little light, the fruit will be very small, dull in color, poor in taste, and the amount of fruit set will also be less.
Therefore, when caring for figs, do these two things well, and getting them to fruit is not difficult.
