I think it's fear of killing them that drives me, personally. I am recently amazed at how dry figs can get. i am not watering until i see no signs of water at all in the cups. So far, seems to be working and the roots i think, are growing faster.
Also, i think i stopped applying too much, just in time- a couple of mine look like the rooting on the outside of the container have receded. i think the roots had died back, but not enough to kill them. i am now seeing growth again, after a week or two.
im expecting the same from my lemons. they are feminello lemon seeds from italy. i knew as much about lemons as i did about figs this summer; but i got them to grow, so i'll report back in 5-10 years on the fruit! __________________ -- Johnny
