Care & tips Ficus Robusta shrub - 90cm
The Ficus Robusta shrub is not a difficult houseplant to look after. However, it is sensitive to new environments. Should Ficus grow to one side, do not move the plant all at once but turn it a little every day. With major changes, the plant may drop its leaves. A weekly spraying will benefit Ficus' leaves. Dust and possible pests will not get a chance this way.
Water requirements Ficus Robusta shrub - 90cm
Always try to keep Ficus' soil slightly moist. In the beginning, give the plant small amounts of water several times, after a while you will know approximately how much water the plant needs. The amount of water also depends on the location. If the houseplant is in a bright spot, it will need more water.
Light needs Ficus Robusta shrub - 90cm
