Ficus plants are all sturdy house plants, able to adapt to a variety of conditions. They prefer diffused daylight; warmth 20° to 26°C; medium to high humidity. Grow in humus potting soil; keep moist. Keep leaves clean. Do not use too large a pot as over-watering can become a problem. Propagate from leaf or stem cutting sin warmth; air-layering. NOTE: Leaves drop if temperature fluctuates or plants are watered with highly chlorinated water.
Miniature varieties grow well in bottle gardens. If lower leaves drop and too much stem is
exposed, air-layer the top.
