Anjeer/Athi Pallu/Anjura/Figs Original Healthy Live Plant

Common Fig (Anjeer) in a pot is actually quite easy

1️⃣ Choose the Right Pot

• Start with a large pot (at least 12–16 inches deep).
• Make sure it has good drainage holes.
• As the plant grows, shift it to a 20–24 inch pot.

Best materials: terracotta or thick plastic pots.

2️⃣ Prepare the Soil Mix

Fig plants need well-drained soil.

Good potting mix:

• 40% garden soil
• 30% compost or vermicompost
• 20% cocopeat
• 10% sand or perlite

Mix everything well before planting.

3️⃣ Planting the Fig

You can grow figs from:

• Cuttings (best and fastest)
• Nursery plant

Planting steps:

1. Fill the pot with soil mix.
2. Plant the cutting or sapling in the center.
3. Water lightly after planting.

4️⃣ Sunlight Requirement ☀️

Figs need 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Good places:

• Balcony with sun
• Rooftop
• Near a sunny window

5️⃣ Watering 💧

• Water 2–3 times a week in summer.
• Reduce watering in winter.
• Do not overwater — soil should be moist, not soggy.

Tip: Let the top 2–3 cm soil dry before watering again.

6️⃣ Fertilizer

Every 3–4 weeks add:

• Vermicompost
• Cow dung compost
• Banana peel fertilizer

Avoid too much nitrogen fertilizer.

7️⃣ Pruning ✂️

• Trim branches once a year.
• Remove weak or crossing branches.
• Pruning encourages more fruiting.
