Ficus will perfectly decorate any room and make it more comfortable.
But in order for the plant to really please the eye, it should be properly cared for. In winter, the care process may change slightly.
For example, there is no need to apply additional fertilizers during this period. Manipulations should be resumed in April.
It is also important to remember that ficuses need a lot of light. Therefore, the pot should be turned over periodically so that each side has access to it.
If the lighting is poor, the stem may become curved, and the plant will develop only on one side, where the light falls.
It is better to avoid direct sunlight.
In addition, it is important to protect your indoor ficus from drafts and temperature changes.
When caring for the plant, it is necessary to take into account that dry air, which often appears in apartments in winter, is destructive for the ficus. Therefore, one must not forget to periodically spray the leaves with clean water at room temperature.
During the cold season, it is enough to water once a week.
If the room temperature is no more than 16 degrees Celsius, then the soil should be moistened once every 10 days.
If the room is very hot, you can water the ficus twice a week.
Earlier we talked about why the ficus dries out.
