Helicopter parenting?

I feel like we should have a support group for those who love their fig children to death. Hi I'm Beth and I over-waterer. It took me a long time to realize my sponsor Toronto Joe was right and I was drowning my babies but instead of yelling at me in Italian he helped me realize the importance of provolone and a good salami and now when I feel the urge to water I make a sandwich. It's been three days since I killed one.
Seriously though. I am definitely a helicopter figmama.😂

I feel ya - it’s so hard for me to resist watering them!!! Figs are so different than other plants I have grown, it goes against what I have always done on so many things. Definitely a learning curve for me, lol.

If I have a fig tree that's slacking in production, I like to yell at it in Italian. Works great, but the neighbours look at me funny then go into their houses and lock their doors... 🤌

Threatening to assault them with a broom seems to work as well. Idk any Italian or I’d give your method a try as well
 
I used to helicopter(recently), but as of late life has been too hectic and I’ve been too busy. Aside from new roots showing up they don’t seem to care. I don’t think they love me like I love them 😭
