🌿 Fig – Outdoor Growing Guide

In Germany in pot or on south wall – winter protection needed.

📅 When to Plant Fig?

Fig (also known as Feige) belongs to the Fruit & Berries category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Fig can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Fig is frost-sensitive and should only be planted out after the last frost date for your area. Minimum night temperature: 8°C. Brief cold snaps below 0°C can cause damage.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Fig grows best at daytime temperatures between 18°C and 38°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 8°C.

• Minimum night temperature: 8°C
• Optimal day temperature: 18–38°C
• Wind sensitivity: Medium
• Humidity sensitivity: Low

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Fig is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.

Rain sensitivity: Low – Relatively rain-tolerant – good drainage is sufficient.
