Ficus Daniella is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for houseplant with long, narrow leaves that are a glossy, dark green colour. Here are some care tips for this plant:
Light: Ficus Daniella prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but avoid exposing it to intense, hot afternoon sun.
Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, and allow any excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Do not let the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Ficus Daniella likes moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves with water, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near the plant.
Temperature: The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 60-75°F (16-24°C).
Soil: Ficus Daniella prefers a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
Propagation: Ficus Daniella can be propagated by stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and plant it in moist potting soil.
Remember to keep your plant away from pets and children as it's toxic when ingested. Ficus Daniella is a relatively low-maintenance plant that is fairly tolerant of different conditions, making it a great addition to your indoor garden.
