Plant Care Instructions

  • Light: Place your Ficus Lyrata in bright, indirect sunlight to ensure healthy growth. It can tolerate some shade but prefers ample light.

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent overwatering.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging, ensuring good root health. A mix formulated for tropical plants is recommended.

  • Humidity: Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidity tray nearby to increase humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments.

  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and avoid sudden temperature drops or drafts.

  • Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Yellowing Leaves: Typically a sign of overwatering. Adjust watering frequency and ensure proper drainage.

  • Brown Spots: Often caused by dry air or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and maintain regular watering habits.

  • Pests: Keep an eye out for spider mites and scale insects. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap and wipe leaves clean.

  • Leaf Drop: Can occur due to sudden temperature changes or inadequate light. Ensure stable conditions and adequate light exposure.
