Ficus Shivereana: Your Leafy Companion
Fertilizing Fun
To keep your Ficus Shivereana thriving, fertilize it once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer by half to ensure it gets the right balance of nutrients for optimal health.
Steadfast Stability
Ficus Shivereana prefers stability. It loves consistent light and temperature, so find it a cozy spot and let it stay put. Protect it from drafts to keep those leaves in top shape.
Potted Comfort
Your Shivereana enjoys staying in its pot, so repotting isn’t needed unless absolutely necessary. If you’re up for some pruning, trim the top of the main stem to encourage new growth below.
Dust-Busting Ritual
Keep your Shivereana looking fabulous by wiping down its leaves with a damp cloth. This regular cleaning will help maintain photosynthesis and keep the plant looking fresh!
Ficus Burgundy ‘Rubber Tree’: Your Evergreen Marvel
Fertilizer Fiesta
Just like its Shivereana cousin, the Ficus Burgundy ‘Rubber Tree’ enjoys being fertilized once or twice from spring to summer with diluted fertilizer.
Stay Put, Rubber Tree
The Rubber Tree isn’t a fan of being moved around. Ensure it’s in a spot with consistent light and temperature, and shield it from drafts for a healthy, thriving plant.
Pamper the Pot
Repotting is only necessary when your Rubber Tree outgrows its current home. For extra growth, trim the main stem’s top and watch it flourish. And don’t forget – regular leaf cleaning keeps your plant looking pristine!
Ficus Altissima: Your Towering Green Marvel
Chill-Proof Altissima
The Ficus Altissima doesn’t like cold drafts or sudden light changes, so make sure it’s in a stable environment. If needed, don’t hesitate to trim its leaves – it can handle it!
Fertilize with Finesse
Fertilize your Altissima once or twice during the growing season with a diluted fertilizer to ensure it stays healthy and strong.
Dry Before You Drink
Ficus plants like to dry out a little before being watered. Let the top few inches of soil dry before watering again. Watch for yellow leaves as a sign of thirst, or falling leaves if it’s overwatered. Keep the soil balanced – not too dry, and not too soggy!
