I have a jolly fig. I know it grows slow but the leaves keep burn off. I keep the tree in the garage and it's usually the 70s says 75 right now since it's not hot but normally been watering it every eight days or so. Can someone please help for maintenance to keep it alive. Should the plant be indoor with special lighting hours? Help please thank you

We can help, but we'll need your climate zone and age of tree first. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Mine has no problem outdoors here in Illinois even in hot months , the variegated leaves do fine in full sun the all yellowish leaves eventually will succumb to the sun . I treat mine like any other fig plant except when pruning to keep its variegation.

Are jolly figs generally happier than their counterparts? :o) __________________ Sue Belmar, NJ Zone 7a Wish List: Ronde de Bordeaux, Negronne
