Ficus 'Halcyon-lucida' care

Ficus 'Halcyon-lucida' rewards a patient owner: it grows as an upright clump and asks mostly to be left alone.

It does best in bright light with no direct midday sun, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered sparingly, letting the pot dry almost through, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Aim for average room humidity and use rich, moisture-retentive mix — roots here want air as much as water. Under good conditions it may flower indoors, though the foliage is the point.
