When is the best time to transplant figs?

When transplanting figs, be sure to plant them with the soil clump together. Never break up the soil clump, otherwise it will damage the root system of the figs, making it easy for the figs to fail to grow and die. Only transplanting with soil together can make the figs grow better.

Fig transplanting time

Generally speaking, the recommended time to transplant figs is after the leaves fall, that is, at the end of November. At this time, the leaves of the figs have basically fallen, and the juice and nutrients have returned to the roots of the plants. The survival rate after transplanting is relatively high, and new shoots will grow in spring.

Fig transplanting method

When transplanting figs, first dig the figs out from the original planting site. Make sure to take the soil with you when digging them out. Then dig a hole about the same size as the original soil lump, and then transplant the figs with the soil lump into the soil. Press the soil down with your feet to compact it, and water it thoroughly once.

Fig transplanting management

After transplanting the figs, they need to be properly shaded to prevent excessive exposure to the sun. For potted plants, move the plants to a cool and ventilated place and let them grow for 3-5 days. For ground plants, pull a shade net over the plants and remove it after a week. Gradually increase the light intensity, pay attention to plenty of ventilation, prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests, and mix chicken manure into the soil in the spring of each year to supplement nutrients for the figs.
