🌞 Light & Placement

Bright, indirect light is essential. Place near an east or west-facing window. In Germany’s darker autumn and winter months, a bright south-facing position (without harsh midday sun) helps maintain healthy growth.

• Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
• Keep away from radiators during heating season
• Choose a consistent spot—Ficus prefers stability

💧 Water & Humidity

Water thoroughly once the top 4–of soil feels dry. Always allow excess water to drain completely.

• Typically weekly in spring/summer
• Every 10–14 days in winter, depending on light
• Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%)
• Benefits from a humidifier in dry European indoor climates

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining, airy substrate—high-quality houseplant soil enriched with perlite and bark is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

• Repot every 1–2 years in spring
• Refresh the top layer of soil annually
• Choose a heavy decorative pot for stability as it grows taller

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Not pet-safe. The milky sap (latex) can cause irritation if ingested by cats or dogs and may irritate sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of pets and wash hands after pruning.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Growth habit: Upright indoor tree form
• Indoor potential: Can reach 2 meters or more with optimal light
• Propagation: Stem cuttings in water or moist substrate (best in spring/summer)
• Pruning: Encourages branching and fuller growth

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Feed monthly from March to September with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during winter dormancy. Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and maximise light absorption—especially important during darker European seasons.

• Allow acclimation after delivery before repotting
• Monitor watering carefully in low-light winter months

🐛 Common Issues

• Leaf drop: Often caused by drafts, relocation, or overwatering
• Brown spots: Inconsistent watering or root stress
• Yellow leaves: Typically overwatering
• Spider mites: More common in dry indoor air
