I am failing with my fig tree(s) - help!
Comments (6)Thanks for all the tips. I checked out the pot and it had some really terrible drainage...2 tiny holes only. I added a bunch more drainage and we will see how that does. I think I am going to eventually yank this cherry tree I put in and stick the fig in the ground. I don't know what I was thinking with the cherry tree idea. I guess winter would be a good time to do this?...See MoreFirst time growing a fig tree..please help
Comments (4)I agree with scott_ga: Nothing to worry about. Fig mosaic virus affects hundreds of fig varieties and in my experience doesn't harm anything much except the appearance. As for species, there are many, and figs can be hard to identify, although pictures of the ripe fruit exterior, what it looks like cut open, and the dimensions can help in an ID....See MoreMy fig tree is growing out, but not up.

Comments (3)I've never seen grow lights expressed in lumens. In any case 30k lumens seems excessive. Personally I would use an LED bulb to cut down on electricity costs, it's expensive out here in Cali! I think the light spectrum is just about as important as the brightness. Brightness can be adjusted by moving the bulb closer or farther away from the plant....See Morema_delgobbo
