Growing figs from seed in pots: this is how it’s done! Step by step to germinate the seeds
1. Collect Seeds:
Extract seeds from a ripe fig.
Rinse to separate viable seeds (sink to the bottom).
Dry seeds for 1–2 days.
2. Prepare for Germination:
Soak seeds in warm water for 24–48 hours.
Use a well-draining seed-starting mix.
3. Sow Seeds:
Sprinkle seeds on soil and cover with a thin layer.
Mist soil gently to moisten.
4. Create Ideal Conditions:
Keep pots warm (70–80°F) and covered with clear plastic.
Place in bright, indirect light for 12–16 hours daily.
