Sow seeds on the surface and lightly press into the soil. Mist with water and cover with plastic to maintain humidity. Germination: Keep at a consistent temperature of 70–75F. Germination can take 2–6 weeks, so be patient! Transplanting: Once seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant into larger pots. Harden off and move outdoors when weather is warm and stable. Final Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Water deeply but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune to shape and control size as needed. ? Growing Tips: Protect young plants from frost in zones below 7. Container growing is ideal for cold climates. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and protect roots. Figs thrive with 6–8 hours of full sun daily. Can bear fruit in 2–3 years under ideal conditions.
