Signs of Cold Stress in Common fig
Symptoms
Common fig tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, even without immediate winter damage, branches might become fragile and dry by spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Common fig should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, tips might dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
