Ficus Fig Precose De Dalmatie – Green
Plant description
Ficus ‘Precose De Dalmatie’ is a young fig plant (Ficus carica) supplied in a Ø15 cm nursery pot with an approximate height of 40 cm at delivery. With its softly lobed, fresh green leaves and upright, lightly branched form, it brings a calm, botanical presence to bright interiors. This variety is grown for figs, and with the right light and seasonal routine it can develop into a productive patio or conservatory plant.
The plant shown is a compact, early-stage fig with slender stems and spaced foliage—ideal if you prefer a lighter, more architectural look rather than dense greenery. Figs respond well to pruning and can be kept at a manageable size in a pot, making them suitable for Scandinavian homes where space and clean lines matter.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Very bright light is essential. Place in a sunny window (south or west facing is ideal). Fig trees tolerate and benefit from a few hours of direct sun indoors; acclimatise gradually in spring.
- Watering routine: Water thoroughly when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. Let excess water drain away; do not leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
- Humidity preferences: Average indoor humidity is suitable. Extra humidity is not required, but keep the plant away from very dry heat sources for best leaf quality.
- Temperature range: Best kept at 18–26°C during the growing season. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C. In winter, a cooler, bright spot helps the plant rest.

Placement in the home
Place your fig where it receives the most light—next to a bright window in the living room, kitchen, or a home office. It also works well in a conservatory. During warmer months, the plant can be moved outdoors to a sheltered balcony or terrace for stronger growth; introduce it to outdoor sun gradually to avoid leaf scorch.
Care tips
Repotting: If roots fill the pot, repot in spring into a slightly larger container with a well-draining mix. A heavy pot adds stability as the plant grows taller.
Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. Pause feeding in autumn and winter.
Pruning: Prune in late winter/early spring to shape and encourage branching. Remove weak shoots to keep the silhouette clean.
Seasonal behaviour: Figs may drop leaves in autumn/winter—this is normal. Keep the soil lightly moist and maintain bright placement until new growth returns in spring.
