Stick a single branch into a pot and it will live, and the fruit it bears the next year will be big and sweet.

The fruits sold in the market come in all shapes and kinds, there is everything for sale. When I was browsing the market that day, I saw an old granny at the edge of the market who always sells figs, still selling figs. While I was picking figs, I chatted with the old granny for a bit, and only then did I learn that the granny's figs were grown by herself, so I asked her what needs attention when growing figs.

Today I want to share it with everyone. Many people think figs are hard to grow, but that is actually not the case. I remember that when I was little, a row of fig trees was planted along the street, and every harvest season you could pick a whole basketful.

What I want to share with you today is not the fig tree, but the potted fig. Since it can grow into a tree, why can't it grow into a potted plant? What many people don't know is that figs are very easy to grow. When planting, you only need one branch, and it will live once stuck into the soil!

We find a fig branch, whether bought from the market or broken off from somewhere else, you can all use your own judgment. Before planting, choose a suitable flower pot; it has to be able to hold the fig's size, otherwise what will you do if it grows out?

Prepare some nutrient-rich soil. You can use some nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer; nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can promote the growth of figs and make the fruit grow bigger and faster. Friends with experience can choose to mix their own, just mixing some leaf mold or organic fertilizer. Then we can insert the fig branch we found into the soil for cuttings. The weather right now is just right. If we take good care of it later, basically the fig can bear fruit in the second year!

Growing figs is actually not as hard as everyone imagines. As long as everyone likes it, any kind of fruit can be grown. It's just that I feel that the fig trees I often saw when I was little can still be seen in my rural hometown now, but as everyone gradually moved to the city, such chances are fewer and fewer!

Growing figs is not something done merely out of nostalgia. Many people don't know that figs are rich in nutrients. Things like calcium, iron, sodium and other trace elements that the human body lacks are all contained in figs. It really is a fruit that both adults and children like to eat!

If your family can't finish the figs, I think you can also dry them into dried figs to preserve them. A few days ago when I was shopping in the supermarket, I found that dried figs are really not cheap. Drying them makes them easy to preserve, and they also have a different flavor!

I wonder if everyone has learned the fig growing method shared today? The method is very simple, so it just depends on your ability to take action! Today's article ends here. You are welcome to give this article a like, a share and a comment!
