Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Ficus thrives in bright, indirect light. 
  It can tolerate some light shade, but growth may be slower and the leaves less dense.
  Direct sunlight, especially strong afternoon sun, can scorch the leaves and cause damage.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Allow the top few cm of soil to dry out before watering. Ficus prefers consistently moist soil but is prone to root rot if overwatered.
  Reduce watering frequency during the cooler months, but don't let the soil dry out completely.
  If possible, use rainwater or filtered water as Ficus pumila can be sensitive to hard tap water.
  Allow the plant to dry out a little more between waterings during the winter months.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Ficus enjoys high humidity levels, making it well-suited for bathrooms or kitchens.
  To increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Ficus prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 16-24°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Fertilise every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer growing season (April to September) and stop fertilising during the winter.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Repotting is typically needed every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
  Remove dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves or stems with clean, sharp tools.
