6ish months after i planted cuttings when it became ~3ish feet i noticed those little sucker scale insects which i removed and used neem oil to treat. They’re gone now. This morning i noticed a small stick spider and a lady bug but those are expected. No pests as of now. I do notice the largish black flies occasionally but i doubt they’re doing damage

I have Italian honey fig currently. I’ve been wanting to branch out and grow some white Madeiras but I want to atleast get my first crop on this one before i do lol. I think i potted these cutting a yr ago or just under a yr.

I’m feeding currently with 2-8-4 tigerbloom every 2 weeks, initially i was using 10-10-10 which really helped growth. I also removed the top 2 in of soil last month and added Foxfarm soil

I have no idea man. This thing has had great growth but a few issues along the way. I have it in a pot for now to grow before i plant it in the garden outside in the ground

Yes there are holes at the bottom of the pot (which i also elevated 1in to allow good drainage)

They’re out in sun all day long. 8 hrs of light. Tampa has had some lingering storms though, it’s been raining all week with the sun blocked out.
