Whats wrong with tree?

I fed my trees with a dry "food" and now one of them look like this. What do I do? IMG-20150217-00108.jpg  IMG-20150217-00110.jpg


The only problem with dry fertilizer to a pot is that you may not get the balanced 5-5-5. You could get an overload of any one of N-P-K because they are not evenly distributed throughout the bag. Liquid or time released balanced pellets/spikes are best for pots and dry is more practical for in-ground plants. Just my opinion. Good luck and good growing.

It just looks wilted a bit to me, like it needs to be watered. Perhaps the dry food sucked some of the moisture out and it just needs watering?

I had this happen to my figs last year around June. They looked like that for about a month and then grew out of it. Maybe take some of the visible pellets off of the top. I'm not sure how this works for indoor figs in the winter.

Wow, it looks much worst now. I took food out as much as I could and watered it. Will see what will happen. Thanks guys

I'd also not fertilize it for a few weeks, give it time to heal.
~ i agree with you, good answer  this is what i would have said to ,not that the other answers aren't any good ,all advice is helpful~i think it needs not be fertilized looks overwhelmed to me ~

I have to say i think it looks good to me. Beautiful looking but maybe i dont know very much about it.

Ok, I just pulled it out of pot, rinsed the roots a little bit and now waiting a new soil to warm up, I got it from outside, its frozen.

Frozen. Your going to give your fig frost bite after burning it with fertilizer. Wgat a bad fig owner you are!!

figpig, read my previous comment again, I hope you will comprehend this time.

It looks much better now, I think its its recovering. Thanks guys IMG-20150220-00111.jpg
