  • Light: Provide bright, filtered, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch leaves, especially for variegated types.

  • Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, but ensure the pot has excellent drainage to prevent "wet feet". Yellow leaves can indicate either overwatering or underwatering.

  • Humidity & Temperature: They prefer high humidity (40-60%). Keep them in temperatures above 60F (16C") and away from cold, drafty doors or windows.Soil: Use a well-draining, rich potting mix containing peat moss, perlite, or bark.

  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

  • Maintenance: Regularly dust leaves to ensure proper photosynthesis. Prune to maintain shape and encourage fullness.

  • Important Notes: Ficus produce a milky sap that can irritate skin and is mildly toxic to pets and children if ingested.Rotate the plant weekly for even growth.
