★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

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.
A Ficus ginseng grows slowly and usually stays compact through pruning. XXLplant sells it from 70 to 80 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot. That's a generous size for this bonsai fig, with a clearly visible, thick root trunk.
Where should you put a Ficus ginseng?
Place your Ficus ginseng in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light, out of harsh afternoon sun. An east- or west-facing window is ideal. Keep it away from draughts, cold spots and radiators.
How often should you water a Ficus ginseng?
Water your Ficus ginseng once the top layer of soil has dried out slightly, and keep the soil lightly moist but not wet. Water less in winter. Misting the leaves now and then helps against dry air.
Is a Ficus ginseng toxic?
A Ficus ginseng is mildly toxic to cats and dogs. The milky sap can irritate the mouth, stomach and skin. Keep it out of reach of pets that chew on plants.
Why is my Ficus ginseng losing leaves?
A Ficus ginseng drops leaves after a move, in draughts, with too little light or with too much water. So some leaf drop in the first weeks after delivery is normal. Give it a fixed, bright spot and let the soil dry out a little in between waterings.
Can you prune a Ficus ginseng?
Yes, a Ficus ginseng takes pruning well, preferably in spring. Cut back long shoots to keep the crown compact. Ideally wear gloves when pruning because of the milky sap.
