Propagate the fig tree by burying four figs in a pot

To propagate a fig tree, you can start with four figs to place in a pot filled with soil. First, you need to cut off the tops of the four figs, using a paring knife. After that, the four figs should be placed in small furrows created above the ground, equidistantly.

At this point, after covering the figs with soil, it is necessary to level the soil well and water it with water. After that, the clay pot with buried figs should be covered with a plastic container. Within a few weeks, small fig seedlings will sprout.

Once the fig seedlings have developed, it is necessary to pluck them from the pot, cut off the roots a little and plant them in individual pots, to obtain four beautiful fig saplings. Within a few weeks, the fig tree will take on a bushy appearance.

To make small fig trees bear fruit and develop, it is important to keep the plants, in an area of the balcony or garden, well sunny but protected. In addition, it is necessary to water the fig tree regularly and fertilize it only in the first six months of the year.
