Ficus Lyrata care & tips

Fortunately, Ficus Lyrata is not a difficult plant to look after. However, Ficus is sensitive to new surroundings. We therefore recommend not moving the plant too often. Is the plant growing to one side? Then turn it a little every day without moving the plant. That way, Ficus gets the same amount of light on its leaves all around. In the summer months, Ficus may receive some extra plant food for some extra nutrients.

Water requirements of Ficus Lyrata

The soil of Ficus Lyrata should always remain slightly moist. In the beginning, we recommend giving the plant small amounts of water several times instead of all at once. This prevents an excess of water the plant cannot handle. In summer, the plant's water needs are often higher because it uses more moisture. Ficus can appreciate a regular spray on its leaves. Is your plant repotted? Then always use a moisture meter or water gauge!

Light requirements of Ficus Lyrata

Ficus Lyrata does like a nice sunlight. In fact, the plant needs it to stay beautiful and healthy. Preferably put the plant as close to a window as possible. When Ficus grows few new leaves, this is often a sign of too little sunlight.

Is Ficus Lyrata poisonous?

Unfortunately, Ficus Lyrata is toxic if ingested. The sap contained in the stems also causes irritation on the skin. So be careful if you have children or pets.
