Care Guide

• Find a bright spot away from direct sunlight, not close to a radiator or other heat source, and away from draughts.
• Water with tepid water when the soil is just starting to dry out on the surface, but don’t let it dry out completely – during the winter you can reduce watering.
• Mist the leaves in the summer months, and feed with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
• If your Ficus benjamina begins to lose its leaves it may be too dry or in a draught. Plunge the pot into a bucket of water for an hour to let it soak and then move in front of a light window.
