Thanks, guys. The leaves haven't bleached but some are wilted. The pots were rooted inside and moved to the garage last weekend to acclimate them to the heat a little more. The were originally potted a couple months ago in 20 ounce cups...moved to the 1 gallon pots last weekend. I watered the pots on saturday and will mist the leaves again tonight when I get home. If they survived today's heat I'd be pleasantly surprised. The trees are potted in tapla's mixture.

*smiles and nods in agreement.... Thank you Josh! I think you are correct. I have gone through some of the forums here and found one I think may have helped.... I chose to re-pot the little guy. I know my fig tree has its leaves and a single fruit ..but I also noticed yesterday that his roots were starting to peek up out of the soil and were really compacted within his pot too- sighs. So after wringing my hands over it I decided he needed to be re-potted now rather than wait for it to completely choke out and die a slow agonizing death. I went and got a much larger container. Then my hubby drilled several great holes in the bottom for good drainage. I then mixed in small pebbles, humus, potting soil with a little bit of our natural soil... I carefully took my fig from its cramped quarters and carefully removed ALL the compacted dirt from its roots, rinsed the extra off and separated the roots- very much like gingerly undoing knots in bead-work LOL... LOTS of patience but quickly done! I swear I heard the little guy breath a HUGE sigh of relief... Then I put him in his new home...with food and water and a stake to hold him in place till he grabs the soil on his own -- he's pouting right now...but I pray he'll perk up soon. We have him in a location that gets a little bit of sun and NO wind. I have my fingers, toes, eyes and nose crossed! And I will post before and after pics here in a few.

Aaron, I hope they bounce back for you. I recently decided that it was time for my rooters to receive a little kick. My fears were exactly what happened to you. I decided to go with just two cuttings and see how they would react to the fertilizer. After reading your post , I'm glad I did. I used a very weak mix and so far all is well. Good luck.

D, thank you for thinking about me.:) But no, I was not traveling but having a lot of family visitors at one time of another, a lot of shopping and cooking for all.. It is fine because I have to be at the house anyway taken care of my older dogs and now I am preparing for another round of visitors soon. Gives me enough time to plant the garden for fall, All the visitors enjoyed the garden and what produces, this time I hope to have the tomatoes ready and some other things. About the figs, they produce so much better when planted on the ground with a lot of organic material. In the pots the production is limited, that is the reason that I put 2 guavas in a pot, I just get enough fruit for me.
