PP Ficus Yellow Gem 6"

LIGHT: Keep your ficus in bright indirect light. This plant will not tolerate low light and variegation will fade. Close to an eastern window or just a few feet back from a southern or western window is ideal.

WATER: Water when 50-75% of the soil volume is dry. Always water thoroughly until it flows out of the drainage hole to encourage a healthy root system. Discard any excess water in the saucer.

HUMIDITY: The Ficus Altissima does fine in average household humidity, but won’t mind an extra humidity boost.

TEMPERATURE: Your Ficus Altissima enjoys average room temperatures of 60-80°F. Avoid drafty areas or open vents.

FERTILIZER: For best results, feed your ficus once a month from spring through summer with a general houseplant fertilizer for indoor plants.

TOXICITY: Your Ficus is toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

ADDITIONAL CARE: When pruning your plant, make sure to watch out for the milky latex substance that could leak out where cuts have occurred—this is a mildly toxic irritant. If you get the sap on your hands or skin, wash with warm water and soap immediately.
