Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your Ficus Lyrata, ensure it is placed in a stable location away from radiators, air conditioning vents, or doorways where cold draughts occur.
- Placement: Select a spot that maintains a temperature consistently above 12°C.
- Watering: Stick your finger into the compost. Only water when the top layer feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage so the plant never sits in standing water.
- Maintenance: Mist the leaves periodically to increase local humidity, or wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust.
- Repotting: While the nursery pot is functional, you can transplant it into a decorative vessel. Ensure the new vessel has adequate drainage holes.
