All about
The Ficus dossier
Ficus
Ficuses grow in the tropics of Asia, Africa and Australia, from dense rainforests to open plains. The best-known houseplants from the family are the Ficus lyrata with its large violin-shaped leaves, the fine-leaved Ficus benjamina and the sturdy Ficus elastica.
What they share: glossy foliage, tree-like growth and a look that makes any room more mature.

Placement and light
Give a Ficus a light spot without bright afternoon sun; ochtend- of avondzon is prima. Belangrijk om te weten: een Ficus is honkvast. Choose a permanent spot and move it as little as possible, because moving and drafts can cause it to drop leaves.
Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and do not place it directly above a warm radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in summer and once every ten to fourteen days in winter. Let the top centimeters of soil dry first. Be cautious: too much water is the most common mistake with a Ficus.
Provide plant food every two weeks from March to September and wipe large leaves occasionally with a damp cloth.
Is something wrong with your Ficus?
In Ficus, leaf loss is usually a response to change: a move, a draft or a darker place. Give him time, he almost always recovers. Yellow leaves indicate too much water, brown edges indicate dry air. Sticky leaves may indicate scale or mealybug.
Repot a Ficus every two to three years in the spring, in a pot that is about twenty percent wider. Use light potting soil and a sturdy pot: large specimens are top heavy. Wear gloves because of the milky juice. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The milky sap of the Ficus is slightly poisonous to cats and dogs and can irritate the mouth and stomach when chewed. The sap can also be sensitive on the skin. Place the plant out of reach of nibbling pets or choose an animal-friendly alternative.
With enough light, a Ficus grows steadily and can grow into a real indoor tree indoors. Pruning is allowed throughout the spring and keeps the shape compact. Our XXL specimens have already been grown as full-fledged trees.
This Ficus benghalensis 'Joy' is 90 cm tall including nursery pot and comes in a pot of ø21 cm. 'Joy' is a compact form that grows more slowly and densely indoors than the common Bengal fig.
Where should you place a Ficus benghalensis?
Place it in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light, for example one metre from a large window. Avoid direct afternoon sun, draughts and a dark corner. It does not like being moved, so choose a permanent spot.
How often should you water a Ficus benghalensis?
Water when the top layer of potting soil feels dry, approximately once a week in summer. In winter it needs less. Never let the roots stand in a layer of water.
Is a Ficus benghalensis toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, all ficus species are toxic to cats and dogs. The white milky sap irritates the skin, mouth and stomach. Keep it out of reach if you have pets.
Why is my Ficus benghalensis dropping leaves after delivery?
A ficus sometimes reacts to a new location and different light with some leaf drop. Give it a permanent, bright spot without draughts and do not water extra. It usually stops after a few weeks and new leaves appear.
