If it start's drying out give it a bit of water. Your garage should work great to overwinter the Fig. Be sure to keep the soil moist, but not saturated.

Since then some leaves have turned yellow and fallen, the house is centrally heated and the compost did look somewhat dry! I have now returned it to my patio with the hope that it will make a full recovery and then I will house it in my garage over the winter period is this the best idea or should I take more precautions? Regards Billy. I recently bought my first Ficus Carica Brown Turkey” as winter approaches I have brought it inside to shelter it from the elliments.

She said the crop is not doing well because the insect needed to polinate it was scarce this year. She did not know the name of the insect in English, can you tell me?
