Ficus carica 'Olympian'
Le Ficus carica 'Olympian' est une variété exceptionnelle de figuier, reconnue pour sa capacité à produire de gros fruits sucrés même dans des conditions de culture fraîches. Il se distingue par ses feuilles larges et lobées ainsi que par ses figues de grande taille, violet foncé à maturité, au goût riche et doux. Ce figuier est parfait pour ceux qui souhaitent cultiver des fruits dans un environnement domestique tout en bénéficiant de l'aspect ornemental de la plante.
Origine : Le Ficus carica 'Olympian' est originaire de la région méditerranéenne, mais il a été développé pour être plus résistant aux climats plus frais. Il est particulièrement adapté aux jardins et aux cultures en pots dans des climats tempérés.
Croissance : Le figuier 'Olympian' a une croissance modérée à rapide et peut atteindre une hauteur de 2 à 3 mètres en intérieur ou en pot. Sa silhouette buissonnante et ses feuilles larges lui confèrent un attrait ornemental, en plus de sa capacité à produire des figues abondantes.
Fleurs : Le Ficus carica 'Olympian' produit des figues dès sa deuxième année de culture. Ses fruits, de couleur violet foncé, sont sucrés et juteux. Les figues apparaissent généralement au début de l'été et peuvent être récoltées jusqu'à la fin de la saison. Cette variété est auto-fertile, ce qui signifie qu'elle n'a pas besoin d'un autre figuier pour produire des fruits.
Lumière : Cette plante préfère une lumière vive et directe, notamment pour favoriser la production de fruits. Elle tolère également une lumière modérée, mais elle s'épanouit mieux sous une exposition ensoleillée. Placez-la près d'une fenêtre orientée au sud pour un maximum de lumière.
Arrosage : Arrosez régulièrement, surtout pendant la période de fructification, en laissant le substrat sécher légèrement entre les arrosages. Le figuier 'Olympian' préfère un sol bien drainé et légèrement humide. En hiver, réduisez l'arrosage lorsque la plante entre en période de dormance.
Substrat : Un substrat bien drainant est essentiel pour le Ficus 'Olympian'. Un mélange de terreau pour plantes méditerranéennes ou de terreau pour agrumes est recommandé, enrichi de sable grossier ou de perlite pour améliorer le drainage.
Toxicité : Le Ficus carica 'Olympian' est non toxique pour les humains, mais il est conseillé de manipuler les feuilles avec précaution, car la sève peut parfois provoquer des irritations cutanées. Les figues sont comestibles et sans danger pour les humains.
