This variety is a type of common fig, originally from the Dalmatian coast, and it is well suited to warm, sunny conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"323\" data-end=\"675\"\u003eThe plant features broad, deeply lobed leaves with a lush green colour that gives it a Mediterranean feel, even when grown indoors or on a sheltered patio. The \u003cstrong data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"507\"\u003efoliage is deciduous\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it will drop its leaves in the cooler months before regrowing in spring. Despite losing its leaves, the bare branches remain quite sculptural during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"907\"\u003eIn terms of size, when fully mature and grown in suitable conditions, the Dalmatian fig can reach \u003cstrong data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"806\"\u003earound 2–3 metres in height\u003c\/strong\u003e, though when kept in pots—like this 40 cm tall, 15 cm pot version—it stays compact and manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"925\"\u003efruiting\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of its highlights. It typically bears \u003cstrong data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003elarge, greenish-yellow figs with a pinkish-red interior\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are wonderfully sweet and aromatic. The first crop (known as the \u003cem data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1110\"\u003ebreba\u003c\/em\u003e crop) often appears in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003eearly summer\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a second harvest possible in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003elate summer to early autumn\u003c\/strong\u003e under favourable conditions. Although not grown for flowers, since figs produce an internal blossom hidden within the fruit, the fruit itself is considered the plant’s main attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003eCaring for a Dalmatian fig is relatively easy. It appreciates a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003esunny, sheltered position\u003c\/strong\u003e—ideally a south-facing window or terrace if grown indoors in cooler climates. The soil should be \u003cstrong data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003ewell-draining\u003c\/strong\u003e yet kept \u003cstrong data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eslightly moist\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially during the growing season. It’s best to water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can cause root problems. During winter, reduce watering as the plant rests. A light feeding with a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer helps promote fruiting and healthy leaf growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1991\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003eThe Dalmatian fig has \u003cstrong data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2026\"\u003eno thorns\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is \u003cstrong data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003enot particularly fragrant\u003c\/strong\u003e, but its fruit’s sweet scent can fill the air when ripe. Being a fig, it is also \u003cstrong data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2165\"\u003eself-fertile\u003c\/strong\u003e, so even a single plant can produce fruit without the need for pollination partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2472\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2263\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2281\"\u003emilky sap\u003c\/strong\u003e of fig plants can be \u003cstrong data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2335\"\u003eslightly irritating or toxic\u003c\/strong\u003e if ingested or if it comes into contact with sensitive skin, so it’s best to handle with care and keep it away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2474\" data-end=\"2670\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAltogether, the Ficus ‘Précose de Dalmatie’ is a delightful blend of beauty and practicality—an elegant houseplant or patio tree that rewards even modest care with lush leaves and delicious fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everspring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55788125192524,"sku":"33280","price":42.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/9266\/1068\/files\/thumbnail_2000_2c124646-7272-4b7b-9331-524f6d32518b.jpg?v=1761644797","url":"https:\/\/viridimania.com\/en\/products\/ficus-precose-de-dalmatie-15020-2-pieces-o15cm-%e2%86%9540cm","provider":"Viridimania","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
