Care Sheet – Cultivation in Quebec

• Light: Gentle full sun to full sun; the more light the plant receives, the better the fruit production.
• Watering: Water thoroughly then allow the topsoil to dry before watering again; avoid constantly waterlogged roots.
• Substrate: Well-draining mix, such as ProMix HP or potting soil with perlite, in a pot with drainage holes.
• Fertilizer: Light but regular fertilization in spring and summer with a balanced or fruit-specific fertilizer.
• Container Growing: Ideal in Quebec; gradually repot into a larger pot over the years.
• Wintering: Bring indoors before frost; overwinter in a cool greenhouse, frost-free garage, or bright room between 0 and 10 °C (32-50 °F), with very infrequent watering.
• Pruning: Possible in late winter or early spring to limit height and encourage branching.

⚠️ Fig trees can produce fruit from the first few years under optimal conditions.
