Care & tips Polyscias Fabian - 90cm

This houseplant requires a little more attention than the average houseplant. A good location is crucial for a healthy Polyscias Fabian. This houseplant is also naturally sensitive to pests. Because this houseplant wants a high humidity, the Polyscias Fabian is a good target for aphids and scale insects. These pests can be controlled with a biological or chemical pesticide. Spider mites also find the Polyscias Fabian an attractive plant, but they can be easily removed with a powerful jet of water. Be careful not to damage the leaves.

Water requirements of the Polyscias Fabian - 90cm

The water needs of the Polyscias Fabian are important for its growth and health, so watering should be precise. In the summer months, the soil should always be moist and not dry out between waterings. We recommend you to water small amounts several times as there should not be a layer of water in the pot. You can easily check whether the soil is still moist by feeling it with your fingers. In the winter months, the soil may dry out a little between waterings before you give new water. The amount and frequency of watering also depends on the size, location and ambient temperature. So always check what the best frequency and amount is for your Polyscias Fabian. 

We also recommend that you water this houseplant regularly because the Polyscias Fabian likes a moist environment. This is not always the case in our living rooms, so it's best to give the Polyscias Fabian a little help! Watering the plant will also help to prevent pests.
