Care Instructions
Ficus pancheriana requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly to maintain soil moisture. The plant does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity levels.Soil
Ficus pancheriana prefers loamy soil that retains moisture but also drains well. A soil mix that includes organic matter will help provide the necessary nutrients and support healthy growth. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its nutrient needs. Reduce fertilization during the dormant period, if applicable.Repotting
Repot Ficus pancheriana every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Ficus pancheriana can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Ficus pancheriana to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the plant.Toxicity
Ficus pancheriana 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 pets and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
