Instructions d'entretien

Ficus benghalensis thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires regular watering, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The plant enjoys high humidity and should be kept away from cold drafts.

Sol

The Banyan tree prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Engrais

Fertilize Ficus benghalensis with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth. Reduce feeding during the dormant winter months.

Rempotage

Repot the Banyan tree every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently loosen the roots and place the plant in fresh soil.

Propagation

Ficus benghalensis can be propagated through cuttings or air layering. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer and root them in a moist, well-draining medium. Air layering involves wounding a branch and encouraging it to develop roots while still attached to the parent plant.

Taille

Prune the Banyan tree to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done throughout the year but is best performed in the spring. Regular pruning helps control the size and encourages bushier growth.

Toxicité

Ficus benghalensis is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The sap can cause skin irritation and gastrointestinal issues if consumed. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.

Supplémentaire

The Banyan tree is known for its impressive size and longevity. In its native habitat, it can grow to be a massive tree with a wide canopy. It is often used as a focal point in large gardens and parks.
