Enhanced Growth of Fig Trees (Ficus carica)
Organifer Fig Liquid Fertiliser supports the steady, robust growth typical of Ficus carica, a deciduous fruit tree cultivated for thousands of years across the Mediterranean and warm climates worldwide. Known for its lobed leaves, smooth bark, and distinctive teardrop-shaped fruit, the fig requires balanced nutrition to achieve strong foliage, stable branching, and reliable fruit development. The 2-1-8 organic formulation promotes vigorous shoot growth and structural strength, helping figs maintain healthy performance in gardens, orchards, and containers.
Strengthened Root Development and Improved Drought Tolerance
Figs naturally develop deep, wide root systems that allow them to thrive in hot, dry summers. This liquid fertiliser enhances root activity by improving soil aeration and microbial health, ensuring efficient water management and nutrient absorption. Amino acids stimulate root initiation and support nutrient mobility, enhancing the tree’s resilience to seasonal drought and variable moisture. Stronger roots lead to improved vigour, stability, and long-term productivity in both container and in-ground fig plantings.
Improved Fruiting, Fruit Size, Sweetness, and Ripening Quality
High-quality fig production depends on balanced nutrition throughout the growing season. Organifer Fig Liquid Fertiliser enhances fruit set, reduces premature fruit drop, and supports the development of plump, richly flavoured figs. Potassium improves sweetness, flesh consistency, and skin colour, while phosphorus supports early bud and fruit initiation. Amino acids enhance metabolic energy, supporting smoother ripening and improved fruit uniformity, ideal for fresh eating, drying, or dessert use.
Properties
✔ Supports vigorous growth and strong branching in fig trees ✔ Enhances fruit size, sweetness, colour, and ripening quality ✔ Strengthens root systems for improved drought tolerance ✔ Boosts nutrient uptake efficiency with amino acids ✔ Improves leaf colour, structure, and seasonal vitality ✔ Helps prevent fruit drop and irregular ripening ✔ Supports stable performance in hot, dry climates ✔ Suitable for container figs, espalier systems, and small gardens ✔ Vinasse-free formulation ensures clean, residue-free feeding ✔ Ideal for both modern and heritage fig varieties
Composition
2.0% Total nitrogen (N) 1.0% Total phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅) 8.0% Total potassium oxide (K₂O) 40% Dry matter 35% Organic matter 0.1% Magnesium oxide (MgO) 0.1% Calcium oxide (CaO) pH: 5.5–6.0
Enhanced Stress Tolerance in Hot and Dry Growing Conditions
Figs are naturally adapted to warm climates but still require consistent support during periods of heat and dryness. This liquid fertiliser reinforces cellular structure and improves internal water regulation, enabling the tree to maintain firm leaves and strong fruiting even in challenging summer conditions. Improved resilience reduces signs of stress such as leaf scorch, fruit cracking, and slowed growth, supporting a smooth growing rhythm throughout the season.
Ideal for Container Figs, Garden Trees, and Small Orchard Use
Organifer Fig Liquid Fertiliser is suitable for compact container figs, espaliered trees along walls or fences, decorative patio figs, and larger garden specimens. The vinasse-free formulation supports gentle, steady feeding that maintains long-term soil health and promotes dependable fruiting. Whether grown in a warm courtyard, Mediterranean-style garden, or home orchard, the fertiliser ensures improved vigour, strong fruit development, and lasting ornamental value.
Dosage
Number of applications: 3–6 Start: At early growth Repeat: Every 3–4 weeks Foliar spraying: 3–9 ml per 1 litre of water Fertigation: 1–2 ml per 1 litre of water Standard dose: 5–9 L per ha Consistent soil moisture is essential, especially during fruit set, as fluctuations can lead to fruit drop or uneven ripening. Adequate calcium and magnesium availability supports fruit firmness and improves the texture and quality of developing figs. Avoid applying heavy nitrogen, which encourages excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production. Providing full sun ensures maximum sweetness and flavour, while strategic pruning helps maintain airflow, reduce disease pressure, and keep branches productive throughout the growing season.
