Ficus Cone – Ficus Diversifolia

Description

The Ficus Cone is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its upright, conical growth habit and dense, dark green foliage. The leaves are oval-shaped and have a glossy texture, adding to the plant’s aesthetic appeal. This low-maintenance plant is a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its compact size and slow growth rate make it suitable for various spaces, including homes, offices, and gardens. 

Plant Care:

• Light: The Ficus Cone thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water your Ficus Cone regularly, but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Maintain a warm temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
• Humidity: The Ficus Cone prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Prune your Ficus Cone as needed to maintain its shape and size. You can also prune to encourage bushier growth.
• Repotting: Repot your Ficus Cone every 2-3 years or when the roots become pot-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy the beauty of your Ficus Cone for years to come.
