Ficus 'Borealis-viridis' care

Ficus 'Borealis-viridis' rewards a patient owner: it grows as a slow climber and asks mostly to be left alone.

Position it in low to medium light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for 55% humidity or higher and use a free-draining cactus-leaning mix — roots here want air as much as water. It responds visibly to a monthly feed through the growing season.
