Plant Maintenance

Temperature: Average room temperatures of 60 – 75°F (15 – 24°C are fine. Avoid lower than 55°F (12°C), sudden temperature drops and cold drafts.

Light: A nice brightly lit spot is ideal, without direct sunlight.

Watering: Water once the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch and make sure the pot has sufficient drainage holes to allow excess water to seep through. The worst thing you can do regarding watering is “give it too much”.

Soil: You need a well-draining and well-aerated potting soil. 1 part peat, 1 part pine bark and 1 part coarse sand (or perlite) is a good mix.

Re-Potting: From May – June re-pot once the roots have become pot bound or every year when the plants are very young, and then once every 3 years after the plant has matured. I would renew the soil every year.

Fertilizer: Feed during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer every two weeks.

Humidity: Normal room humidity is fine. To improve humidity mist the leaves when it gets very warm in the summer.

Cleaning: Ficus leaves will appreciate being cleaned gently with tepid water and you will enjoy the glossy clean dust free look. Use a very soft cloth or sponge.

Nazdik wish you all the bests in new year.
