White Fig

Description:
Ficus infectoria, also known as white fig or white banyan, is a species of fig tree native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. This tree is prized for its large, green, glossy leaves and its large, white, fruit-bearing figs, which are edible and have a sweet taste.

Plant Care:

1. Light: The white fig prefers full sun to partial shade, but can also tolerate low light conditions.
2. Soil: This tree requires well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
3. Water: The white fig should be watered regularly, but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. It is drought-tolerant, but will grow better with regular watering.
4. Fertilizer: Fertilize the tree once a month during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
5. Pruning: Pruning the tree regularly is important to maintain a healthy shape and to remove any dead or damaged branches.
6. Pests and Diseases: Ficus infectoria is generally disease-resistant but can be susceptible to pests such as scale insects and spider mites. Regularly inspecting the tree and treating any infestations promptly can help keep it healthy.
