You don’t have to buy figs. Just pick a branch and plant it on the balcony. You’ll have more than enough to eat!

Fig cuttings!

1. Around March or April, cut off some fig branches. It is best if there are 2 to 3 buds on each branch.

2. Prepare a plastic bottle, fill it with garden soil and sand, water it, and then insert the branches into it. Place it in a semi-shaded position, away from direct sunlight, and the temperature should be above 15 degrees.

3. While waiting for rooting, keep the soil in the bottle moist. In about half a month, the roots of the fig have grown very long and can be seen from the side of the plastic bottle.

4. After about 4 to 5 weeks, many leaves have grown and the root system is very developed. It is time to transplant it into a flowerpot.

5. After taking it out of the plastic bottle, clean the soil around the capillary roots and then you can put it in the pot.

6. It is best to choose a larger and deeper flowerpot so that the fig has enough space to grow.

7. After transplanting into the flowerpot, you can start to expose it to the sun. The soil only needs to be slightly moist, and there should be no water accumulation in the water tray.

8. Potted figs lack nutrition, so you can apply organic fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month during the growing season, using a little less each time. Fertilizers like cake fertilizer, decomposed fruit peel and vegetable leaf fertilizers, etc. are all fine.

9. Figs are not susceptible to diseases and pests. If the variety is high-yielding, it will bear fruit in the same year, or at the latest in the second year.
