Fig (Ficus carica)

Meet the Fig – a laid-back, sun-loving friend that brings a Mediterranean breeze to your space. With its bold, sculptural leaves and relaxed charm, the Fig adds instant warmth and character to patios, kitchens, or sunny corners. It’s got that “I vacation in Italy” vibe without ever leaving home.

Figs like to keep it easy – just give them a sunny spot and water when the soil feels dry. They’re not divas about care, but they do appreciate some TLC. A little pruning now and then and they’ll reward you with lush growth (and maybe even fruit if they’re happy enough).

Light: Loves full sun – 6+ hours is ideal
Water: Let the top few inches of soil dry before watering again
Pet-Friendly: Not pet-safe (sorry, furry friends)
Pro Tip: Rotate it every week for even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light.
