Ficus Care Guide

Light: Most Ficus prefer bright to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. Variegated varieties need more light to maintain their colors.

Watering: Water when the top 2-3 centimeters of soil are dry. Ficus prefer regular but moderate watering. Excess water can cause leaf drop.

Humidity: Ficus appreciate ambient humidity of 40-60%. Mist the foliage regularly or place a humidifier nearby, especially in winter.

Temperature: Maintain a stable temperature between 18-24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilization: Fertilize every 15 days in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce to once a month in autumn and winter.

Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with well-draining soil.

Pruning: Prune in spring to control shape and encourage branching. Wear gloves as the milky sap can irritate the skin.

Common Problems and Solutions

Leaf drop: Often caused by environmental changes, irregular watering, or drafts. Maintain stable conditions.

Yellowing leaves: Usually due to overwatering. Let the soil dry out more between waterings.

Brown leaves: May indicate low humidity or sunburn. Increase humidity and keep away from direct sunlight.

Slow growth: Lack of light or nutrients. Move to a brighter spot and fertilize regularly.
