Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours
Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.
The Ficus radicans, AKA sagittata ‘Variegata’ is a tropical climbing or trailing plant with striking variegated and narrow foliage. Native to Asia, this Ficus makes a beautiful addition to any collection and is more compact than many other species.
Ficus radicans thrives in consistent medium to bright, indirect or filtered light. Turn your plant every so often in order to encourage even growth.
Allow the top layer of soil to dry between watering. Ficus radicans needs a well-draining soil. Something that is heavy in perlite and peat moss will work nicely.
This plant prefers a warm, room-temperature setting between 60 and 80 degrees F. This plant can withstand lower temperatures when grown outdoors, and in a dormancy period, but should not be exposed to severe temperature drops as an indoor plant. Avoid placing your plant near heating vents which may dry out your Ficus radicans. This plant does not require high humidity, but will certainly appreciate it. This plant would love to be kept in a sunny bathroom or kitchen where it can benefit from the added humidity.
