Ficus Triangularis in Belly Basket

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

WATER: Allow 75% of the soil to dry between watering. When watering, 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 will thrive in average temperatures of 60-75 degrees.

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

TOXICITY: Ficus 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 some leaves to drop. If it has not been moved, it could be the result of a change in lighting conditions as the seasons change. It may also be reacting to an increase or decrease in its watering frequency.
