Choose a large vase or pot with drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom. This helps avoid root rot.
Fill with Soil:
Fill the vase with fertile, well-draining soil. It’s important to use a mix that encourages good root growth and retains moisture without becoming soggy.
Plant the Figs:
Place the 4 fig tree cuttings or small fig plants into the vase, making sure each cutting is well-spaced to allow for growth. If you’re using cuttings, ensure they are planted deep enough to develop roots.
Water Regularly:
Water the plants thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist but not soaking. Figs prefer consistent moisture, especially when they’re establishing their roots.
Place in the Right Spot:
Put the vase in a sunny, sheltered location. Fig trees need full sun to thrive and produce fruit, so choose a spot where they can get at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
What Happens After:
Roots Develop Quickly:
Fig trees are known for their rapid root development. In just a short period, you’ll notice roots expanding throughout the soil, anchoring the plants firmly in place.
Rapid Growth:
As the figs establish their roots, the plants start to grow quickly. In a few weeks, you may notice new leaves sprouting and the plants getting taller. The fig trees will begin to fill out, making the vase appear lush and vibrant.
Multiple Stems Form:
Over time, each fig tree will develop several stems. These stems grow upwards and outwards, filling the vase with dense foliage and increasing the tree’s ability to produce fruit.
