Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Position in bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning or late afternoon sun is acceptable, but avoid prolonged intense midday sun, which may scorch the foliage. Once established, avoid moving the plant frequently, as ficus can respond to sudden changes in conditions by shedding leaves.
Watering
Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth naturally slows.
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally suitable, although higher humidity is appreciated, particularly in centrally heated rooms.
Feeding
Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser once a month during spring and summer.

Good to Know
