Any fruit in a pot needs a mix that drains well. If it stays too wet roots won't grow in the wet portion. Planting a small tree in that big of a pot will, for many folks, lead to over watering. It won't need water again until it leafs out, then not much until it grows a lot.

Figs generally leaf out late. As long as the bark is green when scratched, the tree is still alive. It will probably leaf out in the next month or two.

Thanks Fruitnut.
The pot is a fabric pot directly on the ground, so it's more like a small raised bed.
It's good to know that figs leaf out late. Seems I need more patience.
Thanks
