Gift Fig Tree

The Fiddle-leaf Fig tree with a slender stem, and generous head, potted in a brown gold planter with moss topping - making for a spoiling Christmas gift. Best space & place This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum temperature of 12°C. It does not like draughts and this can cause the leaves to discolour. When to water & feed Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a general purpose houseplant feed like in the summer months. Reduce watering in winter. Need to know The leaves benefit from a damp wipe from time to time to remove dust, facilitate more light transmission, and keep looking glossy. They can lose leaves when settling in but they are soon replaced. Read our 'Ficus Lyrata' Care Guide.
