Ficus: how to care

Ficus: how to care. The ficus is a plant that is used more common within households, as that tolerates low light levels, high temperatures and levels of humidity in the air.

In fact, the ficus are ideal for those who do not have time to care very specific plants, as they are particularly resistant.

With regard to irrigation, a very important aspect is that you putting on water only twice a week in summer and once every 8 days in winter. A secret to properly irrigate land is expected to be almost dry. In relation to moisture, no major problems although we recommend spraying and then.

Anyway, the ficus can live outdoors in frost-free climates, in areas with full sun and in partial shade. Yes, we must be careful with the air currents and temperature changes, which are not at all favorable. Also keep in mind that an atmosphere with heating and air conditioning can dry the floor.

Another care to note is that the new earth ficus needs every 15 days in summer, and special liquid fertilizer for greens, especially if we have it lush.

Your pruning needs no further indications. For the ficus is lush, you simply despuntarlo every 2 months, less during the winter. In addition, cuts two sheets of each twig terminal.
