The name fig will make many people think that it is a plant that can bear fruit without flowering, but it is not. We carefully observe that when a small fig just grows in its axil, we can see a small scar on its top by picking one. When we carefully observe a small hole, we can cut it in half with a knife. We can see that there are many small flowers in it, and there are two kinds of flowers, namely flowers of different sexes. These flowers bloom in a general receptacle, they pollinate each other and then bear fruit. So it doesn't blossom or bear fruit, but it's cryptocephala.

Ficus carica is a deciduous shrub, native to the Sea of China and warm areas of Central Asia. It was introduced into China from Iran in the Jin Dynasty. Figs like fertile and moist soil and can resist air drought, but they are afraid of water stains. Fertile loam should be chosen for potted plants in the north. Drainage and sunshine should be good, and the adult plants should be fertilized quarterly 1 time. Pruning 1 time after defoliation in winter, and strong pruning of old plants, and the suitable growth temperature is 23 ~ 30℃.

Cutting is often used for propagation. Before sprouting in spring, cut off 1 annual branches and insert them into the soil, and keep them moist for about 1 month to take root. Pruning should be done before sap flows out or after leaves grow out; Don't move for a short time before germination, otherwise it is easy to bleed.
