New growth develops quickly in the growing season, and the characteristic foliage brings a calm, Mediterranean feel to balconies, courtyards, and bright indoor spaces such as a sunroom.

A fig also works well in a glazed balcony, conservatory, or a light stairwell where it can receive direct sun. Outdoors, choose a warm, sheltered spot—against a south-facing wall is often ideal—especially in cooler climates. In containers, use a stable, heavy outer pot for support as the plant gains height.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Feed with a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer to support steady growth in containers. Rotate indoor plants occasionally for even growth, and remove any yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy. If you want a denser form, pinch back soft new shoots in the growing season; prune more firmly when the plant is dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live fig plant (edible fig variety)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Précoce de Dalmatie’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 plants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø15 cm nursery pot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 40 cm (natural variation occurs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040809640279,"sku":"33280","price":113.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/ea9333c0-38a3-4484-8da4-4e172274ff41_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782212","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/dalmatian-early-fig-plant-set-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
