Watch me up-pot a Bourjasotte Grise plant I rooted earlier this year from a 4"x9" treepot to a 4 gallon container. I also cover and demonstrate how I will be feeding the plant.

What I’ve found the best for me, is use soil that doesn’t become compact stay away from miracle grow, well draining soil, then find containers that don’t have holes at the bottom, then drill a hole on the side above on the container about an inch, fill the container with water and excess water will leave the container, this way the fig won’t be stress because of dryness this work excellent for fast growing trees but doesn’t work for trees that hate wet roots like citrus, also you can put the plant with the container inside the up potting container and fill it up with soil the once the up potting container has been molded you can take out the plant out of its original container and put it in the up potting container this is helpful especially if the roots are fragile.

It's always valuable to experiment and find what works best for you as you've done here. Thanks for sharing!

@@EnlightenmentGarden I am in central California and grow lots of figs in containers, summers average temp 105 degrees from May to Oct, I use this method of watering figs in container so I don’t water the figs everyday, I only water them twice a week despite being in full sun all day, the figs themselves grow fast.

Hi do you sell any fig cuttings? From your most productive trees?

@rbee40 2 жыл бұрын

Simple and 👍 I suggest if you would wet ( just a little) the soil before potting. Because peat moss is hydrophobic. 🌿

Thanks and good point! I had to apply a few rounds of water to saturate the media. I also do add some yucca wet initially to help overcome that issue but did forget to do that on camera.

Great info, thanks! Would you put a potted fig in afternoon shade if it were staying in the pot all summer here in the valley? Or is full sun okay?

@EnlightenmentGarden 2 жыл бұрын

You are welcome! Yes--I recommend afternoon shade for any plant in a container (even a fig) as they will cook/scald in direct afternoon sun. All of my container plants are on the east side of my home for that reason. In ground figs on the other hand can get all day sun.

Hi Natasha. Thank you for this very helpful video as usual. What are the telltale signs that rooted cuttings in 4x9 pots need up-potting? I started my cuttings roughly 3 weeks after you. I'm trying to delay this process to minimize the risk of transplant shock.

@EnlightenmentGarden 2 жыл бұрын

You are welcome! If you see roots coming thru the bottom it's generally time. Another sign is when the pot goes dry/light within less than a day of watering as that usually means there are a network of roots that suck up the water fast and not much soil left. At 3-4 months into rooting a fig plant should be pretty strong and not undergo any transplant shock.

@brandonmonroe7050 Жыл бұрын

Nice roots. Once well rooted could the fig tree go directly from the 4x9 tree pot to the ground? I live in Texas trying to skip a few transplants

@EnlightenmentGarden Жыл бұрын

Yes; it can definitely go straight into the ground. No need to up-pot prior.

When I do a fig cleft graft in Arizona in very early Spring do I need to cover my graft with aluminum foil? Thanks

@EnlightenmentGarden 3 ай бұрын

IMO, foil over a graft is not necessary in spring. I only suggest it when grafting in less-than-ideal weather like late winter if there is a chance of frost
