Plant Care
All 3 varieties prefer bright light and most will tolerate direct sunlight once acclimatised. Water sparingly and avoid keeping the potting mix wet but do not let dry out. Ficus prefer reasonable humidity. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the summer months and ensure a good quality peat-based mix is used when repotting. Tolerant to most diseases but can be affected by aphids, scale, and mites. Should you need to clean off the leaves, use a moist paper towel with nothing more than water.
