Ficus 'Silvergleam-tessera' care

Ficus 'Silvergleam-tessera' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a slow climber within its first year.

It does best in morning sun with afternoon shade, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at 55% humidity or higher; pot it in a chunky aroid mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
