After planting 4 figs in a vase, the plants begin to show signs of growth fairly quickly. You’ll notice the fig tree starts to develop new leaves and branches, often within a few weeks. The fig leaves are large and glossy, adding an attractive green touch to any room.
As the figs continue to grow, their roots start to seek out more space, reaching for the bottom of the vase and eventually winding their way through the soil. The compact vase space doesn’t stop them—it encourages them to grow stronger and more densely.
In the right conditions, figs can even produce small fruit after a few months, though the size and quality will depend on factors like the fig variety, the vase size, and care provided. Even if you don’t get fully ripened fruit right away, you’ll enjoy watching the tiny figs form, grow, and eventually mature.
Figs in a vase can be pruned and shaped, allowing you to control the size of the tree. This is especially useful if you have limited space, as you can encourage the tree to grow more horizontally or create a bonsai-like effect.
