Choose well-draining soil and dig a planting hole large enough for the root ball; for container growing, select a pot twice the width of the shipped container with drainage holes. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established, then allow the top two inches of soil to dry between waterings. Once mature, water deeply every one to two weeks and increase frequency during hot, dry periods. Optional late-winter pruning maintains the desired shape and size. Fig Trees rarely need fertilizer, but apply a balanced 10-10-10 organic formula in spring if growth appears slow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":45814267314362,"sku":"21377","price":125.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/little-ruby-fig-tree_69ed1a1b-ca7b-438a-9a1b-ffc10d8c6393.jpg?v=1777509787","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/little-ruby-fig-tree","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
