Ficus 'Benjamina' - 6" Pot

Meet my dear Ficus 'Benjamina'! This sweetie is a popular choice for indoor gardens because it's relatively low-maintenance and super stylish. Here's how to keep your Ficus happy and thriving:

• Lighting: Bright, indirect light is perfect. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so east or west-facing windows are ideal.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the soil daily, and water only when it feels dry to the touch.
• Humidity: Ficus loves a humid environment, typically above 50%. You can place the pot on a tray filled with water and pebbles to increase the humidity around the plant.
• Soil: Well-draining potting soil is a must. A mix specifically designed for indoor plants works beautifully.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Ficus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots.
• Temperature: Keep your Ficus in an area with a consistent temperature between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing it near heating or cooling vents, fireplaces, or drafty windows.

By following these care instructions, your Ficus 'Benjamina' will be the envy of all your friends. Happy planting, my dears!
