In winter, the ficus may start to act up if left in a draft or in semi-darkness.
Careless handling of the plant can turn it into a partially or completely bald houseplant.
Therefore, the ficus needs to be supported during this difficult period of its life. You won’t have to spend much on supplements.
In between mandatory feedings, you can support the plant's strength by preparing fertilizers according to folk recipes.
How to proceed
1. To feed the ficus, you can use natural tea leaves without dyes or flavors.
One teaspoon of tea leaves is enough for one vase.
2. No less popular is the recipe for feeding plants with yeast.
The solution is prepared from dry yeast. For 10 liters of settled warm water, you will need 1 tablespoon of yeast.
Dissolve and let sit for one day, after which you can use the solution for watering once a month.
Fertilizing will not only support the ficus in winter, but will also allow it to grow new green mass.
For reference
Ficus is a genus of plants in the mulberry family, which forms the monotypic tribe Ficus. Most species are evergreen, some are deciduous.
