Ficus abutilifolia, commonly known as the Large-leaved Rock Fig, is a member of the Moraceae family and is native to seasonally dry tropical climates. This tree is known for its large, leathery leaves and its ability to grow in rocky outcrops. It undergoes a dormancy period during the dry season.
Ficus abutilifolia requires bright, direct sunlight and thrives in warm temperatures. It prefers moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil has dried out almost completely. This plant is best suited for outdoor growth in tropical climates.
土壤
The Large-leaved Rock Fig prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate rocky substrates and requires soil that dries out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth.
换盆
Repot Ficus abutilifolia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot during the growing season for best results.
传播
Propagate Ficus abutilifolia through cuttings or air layering. Take cuttings during the growing season and place them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.
修剪
Prune Ficus abutilifolia to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done during the dormant season to minimize stress on the plant.
