Top Tip
Ficus thrives in a warm, humid environment, so consider misting its leaves regularly or using a humidifier nearby to maintain moisture levels. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks to ensure even growth and prevent the plant from leaning. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them healthy and glossy. With proper care, Ficus will become a stunning focal point in your home or office.
How to Water
Water Ficus consistently, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, water approximately once a week, adjusting frequency based on environmental conditions, and reduce watering during winter when growth slows. Ensure excess water drains freely to prevent root rot. Use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as Ficus plants are sensitive to the chemicals found in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Ficus, choose a pot with excellent drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosening the roots slightly, and position it so the base of the stem sits just above the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the pot in a bright spot with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.
