Instructions d'entretien

Ficus benjamina prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in a location with moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid placing the plant in drafty areas or near heating vents, as it is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.

Sol

The weeping fig prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of potting soil, peat, and perlite or sand works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Engrais

Fertilize Ficus benjamina with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Rempotage

Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and refresh the soil mix. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, trim any dead or damaged roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Ficus benjamina can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least two sets of leaves, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a pot with moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Taille

Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done throughout the year, but the best time is during the growing season. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts.

Toxicité

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

Supplémentaire

Ficus benjamina is sensitive to changes in its environment, which can cause leaf drop. To minimize stress, avoid moving the plant frequently and maintain consistent care routines. Regularly misting the leaves can help increase humidity and keep the plant healthy.
