Many people like to keep ficus not only at home, but also at work because the flower quickly adapts and does not require our constant attention.

However, sometimes the plant starts to look not so good.

If you notice that the beautiful and spectacular leaves of the ficus have started to turn yellow, dry out or even fall off, then the plant needs your attention, noted the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Why can such transformations occur with a flower?

Lighting

Sometimes we forget that the ficus also needs sunlight for full development. If this condition is not met, the plant begins to look bad.

In this case, at least temporarily, you need to move the plant to a more favorable location.

Terms and Conditions

Ficus grows extremely poorly if there are drafts and high temperatures in the room. Comfortable indicators for the plant vary between 18-25 degrees.

Adjust the irrigation system

It is important to remember that ficus does not need a lot of moisture, as this can cause problems with the root system.

During the cold season, the flower is watered only once every seven days. In summer, the number of waterings is increased to two.

Dry air

Ficus needs correct humidity levels. If the room is too dry, the leaves will start to turn yellow and dry.

Therefore, you need to pay attention to the humidifier.
