Planting & Care
1. Planting: Your Ficus needs lots of indirect, bright light - ensure you place it near a sunny window for best results. When you're ready to plant, select a pot that is approximately one to two times the plant's shipped container and use well-drained soil. Also, make sure your post has proper drainage holes.
2. Watering: Allow the top layer of the soil to dry out completely, and then water deeply until water begins to drain from the holes at the bottom. Repeat this process as needed to ensure your Ficus is hydrated.
3. Fertilizing: It can be beneficial to feed your Ficus a water-soluble fertilizer once in the spring and every month in the summer.
