Ficus elastica thrives in bright to very bright locations and can even tolerate some direct morning sun. Ficus lyrata requires very bright indirect light but should not be exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its large leaves. Ficus villosa prefers partial shade to bright conditions where filtered sunlight works excellently. Ficus benjamina needs a bright location but without direct sunlight. Too little light is one of the most common reasons for Ficus to drop leaves and grow slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often to water Ficus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake in Ficus care is overwatering. Ficus should only be watered when the top 3 to 5 centimeters of soil have dried out thoroughly. The best way to check this is to stick your finger into the soil to feel the moisture level. During summer, when the plant is active, Ficus needs to be watered more frequently, perhaps 1 to 2 times per week, while in winter it can manage with watering every 10 to 14 days. It is always better for the soil to be too dry than too wet. After watering, excess water in the outer pot should be drained after about 30 minutes. Overwatering leads to Ficus dropping leaves and can cause root rot, which can kill the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus thrives best in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ormbunker.se\/products\/torvfri-jord\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ewell-draining potting soil\u003c\/a\u003e that does not become compact and soggy.

It is important to avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes, so do not place your Ficus near radiators, air conditioning, or windows that are opened frequently in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Ficus species do very well in normal indoor air with humidity between 40 and 60 percent. Ficus villosa, however, prefers higher humidity of around 60 to 80 percent and therefore thrives best in terrariums or plant cabinets. Regularly wipe dust off the leaves to keep them healthy and shiny. You can spray the leaves occasionally but it is not necessary for most species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFicus nutrition and fertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize your Ficus from March to September with regular houseplant fertilizer every two weeks, but use only half the dose recommended on the package.

The best time for pruning is spring or summer when the plant is in active growth. Cut above a leaf node with clean scissors; milky sap will ooze out, which is completely normal but can irritate the skin, so wash your hands after pruning. The Ficus will branch out from the cut spot and can be pruned quite heavily if you want to completely reshape the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFicus cuttings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus is easy to propagate from cuttings. Cut a cutting that is 10 to 15 centimeters long with 2 to 3 leaves and remove the lower leaves. Allow the milky sap to drain and dry for about 30 minutes before placing the cutting in water or moist soil. Roots should start to grow after 2 to 4 weeks if the cutting is in water. Once the roots are about 5 centimeters long, you can plant the cutting in soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Ficus flower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Ficus can flower but it is very rare indoors.

The most common cause of leaf drop is simply that the plant has been moved to a new location, which could be from the store to your home or just from one room to another. Drafts, cold, too little light, overwatering, dehydration, or the natural leaf fall in autumn can also cause the weeping fig to drop leaves dramatically. The solution is to be patient, as new growth will appear when conditions are good, and most importantly, not to move the plant more than necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRubber Plant (Ficus elastica) dropping leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber plants drop leaves primarily due to overwatering leading to root rot, too little light, complete dehydration, or sudden temperature changes.

Be patient with leaf drop as new foliage almost always grows back if conditions are good. Prune to get a bushier plant and rotate the pot a little each month for even growth on all sides. Avoid overwatering, which is the most common mistake; do not place the plant in dark corners, do not move it constantly, do not fertilize in winter, and do not place it near radiators or air conditioning.
