🥤 Recognizing a Parched Plant
Negronne Figs, like any plant, have a silent language for communicating distress. When underwatered, leaves may appear limp or curled, signaling a plea for hydration. The soil at the base of your fig should feel slightly damp, not bone-dry. If it crumbles like a forgotten pie crust, it's time to take action.
💦 Quenching the Thirst
Hydrating your Negronne Fig isn't just about dumping water; it's an art. Check the weight of the pot; a lighter pot often means drier soil. When watering, aim for a thorough soak until water runs freely from the drainage holes. This ensures the roots get their fill without leaving them swimming. Remember, consistency is key—keep the soil moist but not waterlogged to avoid swinging from one extreme to the other.
