How do you grow a fig tree in a pot?
assistant
Growing a fig tree in a pot is relatively easy. Start by selecting an appropriate pot that is at least 12 inches deep and has drainage holes. Make sure the pot has good drainage so that excess water can drain away from the roots of your fig tree. Fill the pot with quality potting soil, making sure to pack it down firmly around the sides of the pot. Place the fig tree in the pot and gently fill any remaining space with more soil. Water the plant regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize the tree every other month using a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for trees. Monitor the growth of your fig tree and remove it when it becomes too large or crowded in the pot.
