I’m Tig the Green Island Fig, native to Southeast Asia. I’m rugged, easy-care and slow-growing. I like to spread out my branches sideways as I grow, giving me a nice sculptural form. Though I may not fruit all the time, I produce figs the size of small berries that appear throughout the year. My shiny leaves contrast with berries that turn dark brown when ripe. Although edible, they aren’t that appealing to humans. Keep me in a location that has partial or direct sunlight.
To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and then let me drain thoroughly. Do this about once every 5-7 days, or when my pot feels about 1/2 lighter. I like temperatures between 55-80˚F all year. Keep me away from heaters in the winter and on nice days you can even take me outside! Full or partial sun, please.
Symbolism: After attaining enlightenment, Buddha was believed to have sat under a Ficus tree for seven days, absorbed in his new-found realization. Generally, Ficuses encourage stability and steadfastness in Feng Shui. Its Wood element feeds Fire in the productive cycle, symbolizing expansion and the chance for continuous growth and enhanced wealth or success. Moreover, its 'Zhen' Chi gives this tree the ability to amplify protective energy, especially in one's career and financial journey.
