If you’re growing them in the ground, part of the problem is that your Florida soil is high in phosphate and low in potash. If you’re growing in pots, then the phosphate is less of a problem but low potash is probably still an issue. Both situations can be remedied by supplements of Sul-Po-Mag. Make sure you’re buying it in consumer packaging and not repackaged from 50-lb bags – that way you’ll also obtain good dosage instructions.
The cultivar “Ischia” has a great reputation in Florida … even in the Orlando area. The cultivar “Violette de Bordeaux” does well there also (e.g. in Tampa Bay). In both cases they need to be pruned every year at waist high – as is done for all figs in low chill areas. Yes, you abandon the breba crop but it is worthless in low chill.
