Compact-leaf, manageable form of the fiddle-leaf fig. Makes a dramatic statement. Dust, mist and feed lightly. For steady growth, repot annually; otherwise, move as little as possible.

This plant wants water when the top of the soil is dry, but you can still feel moisture just below the surface. This plant will often fall into a once-a-week watering cycle, but remember that your watering should be based on the moisture left in the soil, which will depend partly on the moisture in the room and the weather outside. The soil "surface'' goes a bit deeper for larger pots; for example, a plant in a 14-inch diameter pot should dry out a couple of inches deep before you water it, while a plant in a 4-inch pot will only want to dry out in the top half inch or so of soil.

Notas de cultivo

All ficus respond well to pruning, allowing even very large ficus to be maintained at a modest size. They do exude white sap, often containing latex, so if you have a latex allergy avoid the sap and protect furniture and carpets from dripping during and after pruning.

Interés especial

Can be grown outdoors in mildest coastal Southern California climates, where it tends to look its best with protection from hottest sun.
