Ficus 'Aurora-minima' care

Among the quieter members of the genus, Ficus 'Aurora-minima' forms a compact rosette and settles quickly indoors.

It does best in bright indirect light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water sparingly, letting the pot dry almost through. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Keep it at a pebble tray in heated rooms; pot it in rich, moisture-retentive mix and refresh the top layer each spring. It is mildly irritating to pets if chewed, so shelve it accordingly.
