Hello Everyone!
this is my first post and I hope you can help me with my small problems. I'm new to growing figs and I purchased a fig tree last October and keep it in a container. All the breba fell off during the winter but now spring is here and new growth is occurring rapidly.
Everything seems fine and the leaves are very green, but they now seem to be curling up a little. Hong Kong Winters are drier and cold while it's spring and summers can get hot and extremely humid. Can anyone please help me understand why the leaves are curling? FYI there was 2 weeks of very nice, warm weather, when my plant started new growth, but now there is a cold spell, and that's when the leaves started curling a bit. I'm thinking this can be the problem? I water once every 3 days--am I overwatering for a humid locale?
Also, my local garden shop told me to use 8-3-5 fertilizer to encourage green growth until the plant starts fruiting, when I should switch to a normal fruit fertilizer. Is this OK? And last not not least, can anyone tell me what variety of fig I have? Thank you thank you for the help!
