1. Lighting Preferred: Bright but indirect light (east- or west-facing windows). Avoid: Direct sunlight (scorching), dark areas. Special considerations: Variegated varieties require more light to maintain their color. 2. Temperature Optimum: +18-25°C. Minimum: Not below +16°C in winter to avoid hypothermia. Critical: Protect from drafts and sudden changes in temperature. 3. Watering and Humidity Watering: After the top layer of soil has dried, water thoroughly, but avoid overwatering. Always drain the water from the tray after 30-40 minutes. Winter: Adjust the schedule, watering less frequently (every 1-2 weeks, or less frequently if cool). Misting: Daily or every other day with settled water at room temperature. Stop when the temperature drops below +16°C. Shower: Once a month, protecting the soil from soil. 4. Fertilizing Period: April-October. Products: Complex fertilizer for ornamental foliage trees or ficus. Frequency: Every 1-2 weeks in spring/summer, once a month in winter (if well-lit). 5. Pruning When: In spring, during active growth. Why: To create a dense and shaped crown, and to remove old or inward-growing branches. Technique: Sprinkle sharp tools with charcoal on cuts. 6. Safety Sap: Poisonous, irritating. Wear gloves. Children/Animals: Keep out of reach of children. Asthmatics (like rubber plants) should avoid using this plant.
