Variegated Triangle Ficus
SKU 4958
Place the plant pot in a tray and fill the tray with water such that the plant can absorb the water directly from the tray. Do this once every week or when the soil dries out. Don't water the plant directly from the top as this will cause the plant leaves to rot.
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.
This plant is from South Africa, which means exposure to an ample amount of light is a must for successful growth. It has unique, triangular-shaped leaves with stunning cream-colored variegation and is a slow grower. It typically grows outwardly, maxing out at ~4ft, making it the perfect fit for any space.
Pro-tip: The brighter the light, the happier the plant. Just avoid direct light at all costs, as this can burn the leaves.
Sunlight
Thrives in bright indirect to bright indirect light. Can handle a few hours of sun.
Water
Water weekly. Allow potting mix to dry out before watering. Soil about 1-2” down should be dry to touch. Water more frequently during warmer months and fertilize during growth. Generally, the plant will droop to show that it needs more water. Do not overwater or keep the soil wet for too long, as this will encourage root rot.
Humidity
Any humidity level will do. Normal room humidity is fine.
Temperature
65°F-85°F (18°C-30°C). It’s best not to let it go below 60°F (15°C).
Common Problems
It is generally a very easygoing plant. Should it get spider mites, treat the plant as soon as they appear with weekly sprays of horticultural (Neem) oil and regular wipe-downs of the plant.
SYMPTOM: Leaves turning brown, crispy at leaf edges and/or drooping leaves
