Ficus carica 'MAJOAM' Little Miss Figgy should be watered weekly, and the amount required varies depending on the weather. Generally speaking, 1-2 inches of water should be provided each week. During the hotter and drier months, increase watering to twice a week to compensate for moisture evaporating more quickly from the soil. This fig plant will also benefit from misting in the summer. As always, be sure to know your own individual plant and watch its leaves for signs of dehydration. If the leaves begin to droop, that is a sign that more water is needed.

Fig (Ficus carica 'MAJOAM' LITTLE MISS FIGGY) enjoys full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day for it to thrives. This species is native to many of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries so they love direct sunshine and can tolerate intense heat. In the summertime, when the days are longer, they can easily get up to 8-10 hours of direct sunlight, which helps produce better fruit production. During the cooler seasons, it would be best to provide between 4-6 hours of sunlight to give the plant enough light to produce healthy fruits.

Well-drained

Hardiness zone 7–7.

Fig trees should be pruned in early spring before bud-break. Prune your fig tree to maintain it at a maximum height of 10 feet, and to ensure good airflow through the branches. Remove dead, weak, diseased, or crossing branches, as well as all branches that are growing towards the center of the tree. To promote new growth, cut off 1/3 of the previous year’s growth. After pruning, balance the fig tree's canopy by trimming the remaining branches to the same length. This will encourage even growth throughout.
