Ficus altissima 'Yellow Gem' - 10" STD

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially harsh afternoon sun, as it can scorch the leaves. However, some direct morning sunlight can be beneficial for leaf coloration.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F. Avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Ficus plants are susceptible to root rot. Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows down.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help, especially in dry indoor environments.

Fertilization: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size. Can be trained into various forms, including a single-trunk tree or a multi-trunk shrub.

Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
