Yes, Common Fig (Ficus carica) can be started from seeds indoors. Sow the tiny seeds on the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and keep them warm with bright, indirect light. Seed-grown fig trees may differ from their parent plants in fruit characteristics and growth habits. Fruit production can also take several years and is not guaranteed.
An indoor fig tree generally needs several hours of bright light each day, preferably with direct sunlight near a sunny window. A south-facing window can provide suitable light in many locations. Rotate the container occasionally to encourage balanced growth. Insufficient sunlight can lead to weak growth and reduced fruiting.
A fig tree grown from viable Ficus carica seeds can develop into a fruit-bearing plant, but fruit quality, size, flavor, and production may vary because seedlings are genetically different from their parent plants. Some seed-grown trees may take several years to mature. For more predictable fruit characteristics, named fig varieties are commonly propagated through cuttings.
