Ficus benjamina Twighlight – Weeping Fig Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Feeling leafless! Rapid leaf loss can be a sign of over or underwatering. A moisture meter will help to maintain the right balance.
Insufficient light can trigger leaf drop too! Find a more suitable location and your plant should quickly recover. Once you find the right place, keep it there as they do not like being moved too often.
A little off the top! Trim to maintain your Ficus’ desired shape, but be aware that sticky latex will ooze from the ends of the cut stems! This can be an irritant, so make sure to wash your hands afterwards.
