Light

The plant needs a lot of light to grow healthy and color its leaves. Give the plant plenty of bright light without sunlight that could burn the leaves. The ideal location is the north and east side.

Watering

Water regularly, but always wait for at least the top layer of the substrate to dry. Ficuses do not tolerate overflowing and standing in water. During the winter, we water less and pay attention to cold water (we use water at room temperature).

Humidity

The plant requires an increase in air humidity, so we often mist it or place the flower pot in a bowl with wet pebbles. At the same time, it is advisable to wipe the leaves from dust with a damp cloth.

Propagation

The easiest way is to propagate the plant by stem cuttings - preferably using the cut top part of the plant with 2-3 leaves, which can be rooted in water or soil.

Common problems

Overwatering and overwatering, root rot: Most often, you can recognize a ficus that has been overwatered by the fact that its leaves begin to fall, which can also turn yellow or develop brown spots.
Draft: Ficuses are sensitive to temperature changes. You can tell that the plant has suffered a temperature shock by the leaves, which turn brown and fall off.
Change of environment: Ficuses do not tolerate changes (e.g. habitat) well. Therefore, always think carefully about where and when you will move the ficus.
The plant reacts to new, unsuitable conditions by shedding leaves.
Burns of the leaves: Beware of direct light, which can burn the leaves of the plant, causing brown spots to form on them.
