Soil type: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils rich in organic matter; loamy or sandy loam ideal.

Watering frequency: Water deeply once a week during active growth; reduce in cooler months. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Light exposure: Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily) for optimal fruit ripening and flavor development.

Temperature requirements: Thrives in warm temperatures between 18°C and 32°C (65°F to 90°F); protect from frost below -5°C (23°F).

Fertilization: Apply balanced organic fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer; avoid excessive nitrogen to maintain fruit quality.

Pruning: Prune in late winter to maintain shape and encourage fruiting wood. Remove dead or weak branches annually.

Common pests: Watch for fig mosaic virus, scale insects, mealybugs, and aphids. Monitor for nematodes in the soil.

Other care practices: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds; ideal for container culture in cooler climates with winter sheltering.
