Care

General Maintenance: Repot every 1-2 years when the plant becomes rootbound.  Can be pruned to control size/height of the plant.  Can be propagated by rooting stem cuttings in water.  Ficus trees tend to drop leaves when they are moved, but recover quickly once settled.

Temperature: Thrives in normal household temperatures, between 15ºC-26ºC.   Keep away from drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light: Ficus love plenty of bright indirect light.  Direct sun may scorch the leaves.  Can tolerate slightly lower light levels, but this will result in a significantly slower rate of growth and potentially cause them to drop leaves. 

Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry to the touch.  Do not let the soil dry out entirely.  Ensure your pot has proper drainage to avoid overwatering as this will cause the plant to drop leaves, as well as potentially causing root rot. They do like some humidity, so giving them a misting every once a while can be beneficial.

Soil: Any high quality, well-draining potting mix will work well.  Avoid heavy/muddy potting mixes as these plants do not like to sit in excess moisture.

Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during the spring and summer months.
