Up-Potting a Fig Plant - AZ 9B

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.

wow. 7 ft tall in one year. I'm definitely going to fertilize!

Thank you for the great information. I will be up potting my figs in a month or so. Phoenix Az

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

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.

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

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?

Thanks for uploading this. How do I move fig tree to ground please ?

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.

Natasha, could you have chosen to plant this fig directly in ground at this point, rather than up potting?

[GospelOutside]

do you grow your own figs or do you have a source for good rooted cuttings? i always seem to get thin spindle ones from mail order. thank you!

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

What brand of fish emulsion do you use and where do you get it?
