When is the right time to plant figs?

Best time to plant figs

Figs are best planted in spring from March to April, and from September to October. The germination rate of fig seeds sown at these two times is the highest.

How to grow figs

1. Cut branches

Fig cultivation generally adopts the method of cutting cultivation. First, cut the cutting branches, and select the sprouting branches below the main trunk of the mother tree. After cutting, you can observe and prune the branches. If you find that there is enough water, it will be easy to survive.

2. Choose the soil

When planting figs, you should choose salt-free soil, because if the soil contains salt and alkali, the cuttings will easily be harmed. You should use fertile sandy loam or soil rich in organic matter.

3. Insert into the soil

Insert the prepared seedlings into the soil, not too deep or too shallow, about 17 to 18 cm deep, then water them thoroughly in time, place them in a well-lit and ventilated place, provide them with a growing environment of 20-25 degrees, and they can be harvested after about 3-4 days.

4. Fixed value transplanting

After the cuttings and leaflets have grown, they can be transplanted and planted. At this time, the planting distance should be kept at about 2 meters.

Fig planting management precautions

Figs should be fertilized according to the growth stage of the plant. Generally, farmyard manure is mainly applied in the early stage, and it is best to apply it about 5 times a year. After adulthood, it only needs to be fertilized in the early spring of each year, combined with watering, so that the plant's absorption rate will be higher.
