How can fig trees be planted for a higher survival rate? What is the folk remedy of boiling fig leaves in water?

I believe friends who like eating fruit will all know the "fig." It is a perennial deciduous shrub, and its fruit is pear-shaped, turning purplish-red or yellow when ripe. In terms of edible value, it is rich in vitamins and minerals and has many benefits for human health. At the same time, some people among the folk also boil its flowers and leaves in water and sit in a basin with it every day to treat hemorrhoids.

If you have the conditions to plant a fig tree, friends will find daily care relatively simple, because the characteristics of this perennial deciduous shrub are easy propagation, early fruiting, and few pests and diseases, so the benefits of growing it are quite high. In terms of daily light, it likes sunlight and needs to be ensured at least 6 hours or more of direct sunlight every day. If it is always given insufficient light, it will affect later fruit yield. In addition, the suitable growth temperature is 18-25 degrees Celsius. If it exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, ventilation needs to be strengthened to avoid stifling it.

In terms of watering, during the fruiting period from June to November, try to keep the soil slightly moist, and at the same time give it a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month. In winter or during the non-growing season, watering and fertilizing frequency can be appropriately reduced to prevent root rot from overwatering and to avoid excessive fertilization affecting its growth. As for planting soil, it is recommended to use soil rich in organic matter, or choose well-drained sandy loam soil. Absolutely do not use excessively heavy or poorly drained soil, as this can easily lead to poor fruit growth later.

Regarding pruning and shaping, it is necessary to regularly prune weak branches, dead branches, and overly dense branches in the fig tree. Doing so can not only control the overall shape, but also improve fruit quality and promote ventilation and light.

Regarding precautions for growing fig trees, when planting, pruning, or transplanting, avoid doing so in extreme weather. It is recommended to check the weather forecast and choose mild autumn or spring weather. When confirming the planting process, it is necessary to use clean tools that have not been used to cut diseased plants, so as to prevent the spread of disease. By following the above care methods and precautions, you can help ensure healthy growth of the fig tree and abundant yield.
