Care & tips Ficus Robusta shrub - 120cm
Ficus Robusta is a relatively low-maintenance houseplant, but it is sensitive to changes in its environment. If the plant grows to one side, don't move it abruptly, but rotate it a little every day. Major adjustments can cause the plant to lose its leaves. A weekly watering helps keep the leaves healthy, prevents accumulation of dust and keeps pests at bay.
Water requirements Ficus Robusta shrub - 120cm
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. Has the plant been repotted? Always use a moisture meter or water gauge to keep track of this.
