Ficus 'Quieta-silvergleam' care

Ficus 'Quieta-silvergleam' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing an upright clump within its first year.

It does best in bright light with no direct midday sun, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered when the leaves just begin to soften, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Aim for a pebble tray in heated rooms and use rich, moisture-retentive mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
