fig

For a fig plant species (Ficus carica 'Celeste'), water deeply and thoroughly on a weekly basis. Water the plant slowly and steadily, until you see that some water is coming out of the drainage holes. Also, make sure to check the soil by sticking your finger in it every 2 days or so, to ensure it is still moist. If it feels dry, water the plant until it is evenly moist. It is important to keep the soil moist, but not soggy, as too much or too little watering can lead to plant health problems.

Fig (Ficus carica 'Celeste') plants should be placed in an area that receives full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours a day of direct sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production. The sun should hit the plant directly throughout the day for best results. Generally, the best time for sunlight is between 10 am and 4 pm, although this varies depending on the season. During the summer, the best time is likely earlier in the day before the sun gets too hot and during the winter, the sun is best for your fig tree later in the day when the sun is less intense.

Well-drained

Hardiness zone 7–7.

Figs (Ficus carica 'Celeste') should be given a light pruning each year usually in early spring. This is to help the tree maintain a desired shape and promote air flow and more fruit production. If you decide to give your fig tree an extensive pruning, wait until early summer after the fig tree has finished fruiting. Cut off the tips of branches that are getting too large or have some dead wood. Prune off any branches that are growing too far from the main structure of the tree, or interfere with the shape and desired appearance. Removing more than 1-third of the branches should be avoided.
