Step 3: Watering Fig Trees
Watering is one of the most essential parts for a successful garden, and it’s something that even people who have never put something in the ground in their entire lives will probably know – but the finer science of watering plant is knowing just how often to do it, and it’s about more than just watering: It can be a way to introduce more essential nutrients to the plant when they are in need.
Fig trees plant their roots deep into the ground, which means that they require more water than other plants for it to soak down through to the roots; if you see that your leaves are yellowing, it’s usually a sign that they aren’t getting enough water or nutrients, and your watering should be adjusted accordingly to see if this makes any change to the condition of the plant.
Ideally, happy fig trees are watered deeply at least twice per week.
