I don't know anything much about figs per se., but generally speaking it might just need a bit of a feed. Seasol isn't an actual fertiliser used by itself. Watering that often could be a bit much. Try a good deep watering once a week, and make sure the water is getting past the mulch by actually moving the mulch back and replacing it after you've watered. Basically, the problem could be too much or not enough water, and or it's feeling a bit peckish. Also, it's worth checking if water is actually wetting the soil deeper down. If not, a few drops of dishwashing detergent in a watering-can full applied before the serious hosing will help there. Hope this helps. Let's know how it goes. _________ Experience is what you get when you dont read the instructions first.I'm a LEO.I am experienced!	0 0 Alert moderator
