Care

General Maintenance: Ficus are prone to stress, so don’t move them once they have a home, or they will drop leaves. This is completely normal and once they chill out they will be back to beautiful and full.

Temperature: Does well in temperatures between 15°C – 30°C. 

Light: This plant will grow best with bright filtered/indirect light. This can be achieved with any East or West facing window that gets a lot of sun. A South facing window with a sheer curtain over top is also ideal for these plants.

Watering: Water once soil becomes dry to the touch, and thoroughly water until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Allowing the plant to get too dry may lead to leaves dropping. Will do better if humidity is fairly high, which can be achieved via a pebble tray or misting.

Soil: Does well in any general houseplant soil mix, as long as it is well-draining. 

Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (May – Aug) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
