Because of this mistake, the ficus loses leaves at the speed of light, turning into an ugly stick.

It is generally accepted that the Benjamin ficus is unpretentious in care, so housewives do not bother much about it.

But they appreciate the massive green crown. The flower fits harmoniously into the interior. But for some housewives this is not enough.

Every now and then they want to move the ficus to a new place, turn the pot, place it so that more sun hits it.

This unnoticeable habit leads to the plant starting to shed its leaves. The problem is that the ficus does not like stress. The flower experiences any rearrangements hard and will definitely react by shedding its leaves.

The "green pet" loves a shower. Periodically, he needs to arrange "bath" procedures, but it should be done carefully.

After watering, it should be left in the bathroom for a while. The ficus should absorb the moisture and come to its senses.

After a shower, the plant should never be placed near an open window. This can cause serious stress, after which the leaves will fly like snow in winter.
