How to Care for the Plant

Water
A plant is hardy, although temperatures of 18-23 degrees are ideal; dry air or colder environments should not be a problem. Water a ficus twice a week in a summer and once a week in a winter, to keep a root ball moist. A plant does like light, but not strong, midday sunshine.
Pruning
Trim off any dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.
