Care & tips for the Ficus Benghalensis Altissima braided trunk - 120cm
This Ficus is a robust houseplant with striking yellow-green leaves and a decorative braided trunk. It thrives in a settled spot with enough light and few draughts. Turn the plant now and then so it grows evenly. If the lower leaves drop, that's usually a sign it's adjusting to a new spot and nothing to worry about.
How much water does the Ficus Benghalensis Altissima braided trunk - 120cm need?
The Ficus Altissima likes slightly moist potting soil, but really can't stand wet feet. Let the top layer of the soil dry out properly between waterings. In summer it can be a little thirstier, in winter less so. Has the plant been repotted? Then always use a moisture meter.
How much light does the Ficus Benghalensis Altissima braided trunk - 120cm need?
This Ficus likes a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. Too little light can lead to leaf drop or slower growth. Avoid fierce direct sun in the middle of the day, which can scorch the leaves.
Is the Ficus Benghalensis Altissima braided trunk - 120cm toxic?
Yes, the Ficus Altissima is mildly toxic. The white sap in the leaves and stems can cause skin irritation and isn't fit to be eaten.
