Ficus Alii in Ceramic Floor Planter

LIGHT: Place your Ficus Alii in bright indirect or filtered light. Avoid bright direct light as it will burn the leaves and cause them to drop.

WATER: Water with room-temperature water once the soil dries 50-75% down. Water thoroughly until water flows into the saucer, then pour out any excess.

HUMIDITY: Your Ficus tree will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate regular misting.

TEMPERATURE: Your Ficus Alii will thrive in average temperatures of 60-75 degrees.

FERTILIZER: Fertilize your Ficus tree every month in late spring and summer with a general-purpose fertilizer diluted to half strength. You will see new leaves appear and branches grow during this time. No fertilizer is necessary during the winter when plant growth naturally slows.

TOXICITY: Ficus Alii leaves are mildly toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation with possible vomiting.

ADDITIONAL CARE: Ficus are sensitive to changes in their environment. They react to these changes by dropping leaves. If you have just moved your Ficus to a new location, expect the leaves to drop. The leaves will begin growing again when the plant adjusts to its new location. If it has not been moved, it could be the result of a change in lighting conditions as the seasons change. Or, it may be reacting to an increase or decrease in its watering frequency.
