If your fig tree is growing in a container it will require watering more frequently. the best way to determine if your container needs water is to check the soil by inserting your finger into it. if the feels dry, water your container.
All plants require light for photosynthesis, the process within a plant that converts light, oxygen and water into carbohydrates (energy). Plants require this energy in order to grow, bloom and produce seed. Without adequate light, carbohydrates cannot be manufactured, the energy reserves are depleted and plants die. They need 12-14 hours of indirect sunlight.
By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier looking houseplant.
Water often, but don't overwater. Leaf browning is a sign of overwatering. Feed monthly with diluted fertiliser through spring and summer. Ficus lyrata Bambino is comfortable in temperatures between 16°C and 24°C (61°F and 75°F).
Plants that don't like a lot of moisture will need a drainage hole for moisture to escape and for airflow to circulate through the pot. Another important function of drainage holes is to allow water to flush the soil of excess salts from fertilizers.
Symptoms include excessive drooling, vomiting, trouble swallowing, pawing at the mouth, lack of appetite, and mouth irritation.
