Ficus deltoidea ‘Golden’

Description

🌿 Ficus deltoidea ‘Golden’ Care – Alans Garden

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It can tolerate some gentle morning sunlight, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.

Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

Soil: Use a well-draining, fertile potting mix with good aeration. A mix of cocopeat, compost, and perlite works well.

Humidity: Moderate to high humidity is preferred. Keep the plant away from very dry air and strong air-conditioner drafts.

Temperature: Maintain around 18–30°C. Protect from cold temperatures and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding during cooler periods.

Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and prune lightly to maintain a compact, bushy shape.

Pests: Watch for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites. Treat infestations early with neem oil or a suitable insecticide.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the roots become crowded. Always use a pot with drainage holes.

Alans Garden Tip: Provide bright filtered light, moderate watering, and excellent drainage for healthy growth and attractive golden foliage.
