YouGarden Ficus Tineke - 17cm Pot

Yes, like many Ficus species, the sap is considered toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.

You should only repot when you see roots growing out of the drainage holes, typically every 1-2 years during the spring.

While it may survive, it will likely lose its vibrant variegation and become 'leggy.' Bright, indirect light is essential for its best performance.

Trimming can encourage bushier growth. If the plant gets too tall, you can prune the top to stimulate side-branching, but always wear gloves to protect against the milky sap.

Drooping leaves can be a sign of both underwatering and extreme overwatering. Check the soil moisture; if it is bone dry, give it a thorough watering.

This is often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil is drying out between waterings and check that the pot has adequate drainage.

The plant is likely not receiving enough light. Move it to a brighter location, but avoid harsh, direct sunlight which can burn the leaves.

This usually indicates low humidity or underwatering. Mist the plant occasionally or group it with other plants to increase local humidity.
