Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Frequency will vary based on environmental conditions.
Provide partial sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Use clean shears to trim off any dead or overgrown branches. This can be done at any time of year.
Ficus benjamina is toxic to pets. Keep the plant away from pets.
Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for indoor plants works well.
Leaf drop can be caused by changes in light, temperature, or watering habits. Assess your current care and adjust as needed.
The plant can remove pollutants like ammonia and formaldehyde from the air.
Check watering habits. Adjust watering frequency; ensure the soil isn't constantly wet. It could also be a sign of too much or too little light.
Check for drafts or sudden temperature changes. Adjust watering and light exposure.
Inspect regularly and treat with an appropriate insecticide if needed.
