Yes but it won't be happy for long. Like any tree it is much better off in the ground, even if its a small section of earth the roots will penetrate far down.
If thats not possible, a sheltered, south facing space with a very, very large might do the job for a while. They are very happy climbing up walls

SOURCE: growing indoor avocado tree from seed

Make sure it doesn't stand in water, don't give it too much. Moist is OK, but it needs to all drain out. Also, don't let soil cover the top of the seed area. Mulch on top is OK, but not right over the base.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your answer. I will repot this into a pot that has better drainage and I will clear the covering from around the "trunk " where it goes into the dirt.I am confident that you have solved this problem for me because I had over watering problems in the past. I don't know why I did not match these two incidents together and solve the problem before it became this critical. I will let you know my results - in about two weeks - if I can ever find this site again. I am not too good with computers. When I was a child I drank too much water. I appreciate your answer. - Lester"

What does the Jewish idiom, "under the fig tree" mean?

The fig tree is symbolic of the nation of Israel. When she obeys God, she produces the "fruit of the fig tree". When she is in disobedience to God, her figs "fall to the ground".

But you knew this already. May your rods knock and fluids leak!

How do I get rid of clusters of transparent wing insects that gather in Summer on the growing tips of the figs , as well as the passion fruit at Tamborine mountain?

Cover your tree in a fine net when the figs start to form after blooming. I know wasps like to lay their eggs in them, and those fruit usually fall off. Probably the same with the passion fruit.

The tips of the leaves of my dwarf lemon tree in a pot are yellowing. what causes this and how can i fix it???

Dwarf citrus trees are especially suited for container growing as they can be kept at manageable .... Yellowing leaves most often indicate lack of fertilizer or poor drainage.

Can a fig tree grow in louisville kentucky climate?

You should be able to. Remember the fruit grows on the second years worth of shoots. So when you cut it back in winter when dorment, remember to leave some of this years stems to get a good crop in late July. You can usually keep it as a bush so you won't have a hard time picking the fruit, and can easily cover it with a mesh to keep birds away.

Bought 2 new gardenia in 9cm pots, have re-potted into large container, they have had feed and water, yet they seem to be dying off

It could be that the container they are in is too big. The top layers of soil are the first to dry up so if a container is too large for the plants, the nutrients and water could be washed down beyond the smaller plants reach. I would start by having the soil tested at a local plant and tree nursery. Over time minerals and salts can build up in soil to levels that may be tolerable for a larger plant that has grown in that soil it\'s entire life, but will mean doom and death to smaller plants or different types of plants. If the soil tests ok,. then I\'d try a smaller container. I\'m no expert, this is just from my own experience. Hope it helps.

Should I be worried that the lemon tree on my balcony will break through pot when it gets too big?

I don't think you need to worry. From my experience, plants are sort of like reptiles; the smaller the container, the less it will grow. I've had a lemon tree in a pot in my yard for years and it doesn't appear to be getting any bigger so I think your pot is safe.
