Ficus panda, also known as the Chinese bonsai fig, is a unique cultivar of the Ficus microcarpa tree. It is a popular houseplant due to its interesting "cage shape" growth habit, with its thick trunk and aerial roots trained into a braided, basket-like structure. Here are some tips for growing and caring for Ficus panda:
Soil: Ficus panda prefers well-draining soil with good fertility. A mix of peat, perlite, and sand works well.
Sunlight: Ficus panda requires bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause leaf drop.
Watering: Ficus panda should be watered regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. However, avoid overwatering or allowing the plant to sit in water, as this can cause root rot.
Humidity: Ficus panda thrives in high humidity, so it's a good idea to mist the leaves regularly or place a humidifier nearby.
Fertilizer: Ficus panda benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer every two to three months during the growing season.
Pruning: Prune Ficus panda regularly to promote healthy growth and maintain its shape. Remove any dead or diseased branches, as well as any branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other.
Propagation: Ficus panda can be propagated from stem cuttings or by air layering. Take stem cuttings in the spring or summer and root them in a well-draining rooting medium.
Overall, Ficus panda is a fascinating and visually striking plant that can be a great addition to any indoor space. With proper care, it can thrive and maintain its unique shape for many years.
