Ficus Altissima Bush - 8"
Ficus Altissima Bush - 8"
Container Size: 8"
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may lead to leaf burn.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F. Avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. 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.
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: Trim back any leggy growth or prune to maintain the desired bushy shape. Regular pruning will encourage branching and denser foliage.
Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
