I bought a weeping fig online and it arrived today so when I googled for care guides this video was at the top of Google and you're straight to the point yet so informative, thank you!

I just did my first propagation attempt via cuttings. They are stupid easy and successfully did it the first time around. Did it for science reasons just to see if I could do it.

Here in the Philippines, ficus benjamina grows well in 8-hour strong direct sunlight.. their leaves are healthy green in direct full sun.

Thanks for the info, my ficus seems more happy in full sun too.

I think humidity plays a huge role when we talk about sun exposure. If you've got a plant inside a house with central heating somewhere in Europe (let's say 26% humidity like in my place) and you expose it to 8 h of direct sun I don't think it'll be very happy. But place a humidifier next to it and it will be able to benefit from direct sun without it harming the plant.

I bought one of these plants but my plant has only one stem, and I was wondering how you got yours to look so pretty with three stems also. Can you use these plants for bonsai

I explain at the beginning of the video that the growers grow three plants and plat them together to make the plant look like this. you can use Ficus for bonsai yes.

HI, I just bought a ficus carica (it has already four figs!) it's a small plant about 45cms tall and I re potted it. I'm keeping it indoors on my window as I have no outdoors. My question is what do you recommend to use as a fertilizer? Thank you.

That’s a nice looking plant you show off in the beginning. How tall will that be able to get? Is there a way to know how tall my own ficus can grow to? Does it need to be repotted in order to grow taller? I dream of having a very tall ficus inside my home.

Hello, I inherited a ficus Benjamina when we bought our current house. This was three years ago It has been doing OK. Before I made an effort to learn how to care for it it’s gone through some ups and downs a couple times dropping leaves At the moment, it seems happy and I am always seeing new growth these days. I’m wondering whether I should repot it because it came in a pot with no drainage. I’m also not sure if it’s got an ideal soil. I would love to see my plant thrive and not merely survive Let me know if it would be too risky to repot it and maybe just better to be extra careful with watering. Another question : if it went through a time of dropping its leaves, will those branches stay or will leaves come back to those branches? Should I clip those dry twiggy branches?

I am confused. How can that be just two plants combined when it has three braided stems?

Hello again. Don’t mean to pester you but do you have any special advice for repotting this plant or is it same as any other plant? I commented earlier that I inherited one of these with my house and haven’t given it any special care yet. It is in a pot with no drainage. I have had this plant more than three years and who knows how long the previous owner had it! The plant looks healthy but I assume it would do better to be repotted! Please send me advice.

I have one of these growing against a retaining wall. Will the roots destroy the wall?

@HouseplantHacks Жыл бұрын

I doubt it will become an issue unless it gets very big.

I’ve heard this plant does not like being moved. What about occasionally rotating the plant to expose all sides to the light?

@anonnymous4684 2 ай бұрын

Yes, rotating the pot is fine.

@wygodnaanna 10 ай бұрын

Look where ficuses are from and where they grow, most of the varieties love to be in the direct sun. 😊 apart from this one point, that I don't really agree with, it's a great video I lots of good tips. Especially the watering technique is spot on!❤ @crazy_ficus_lady
