★★★★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 umbellata can put on plenty of growth indoors in a bright spot, with new large leaves appearing in the crown all the time. XXLplant sells it as a standard at 180 cm tall in a 45 cm pot, measured including the nursery pot. Expect a wide crown, so give it room.
Where should you put a Ficus umbellata?
A Ficus umbellata wants a bright spot without harsh midday sun, out of draughts and at a temperature above 15 °C. Turn the pot a quarter turn now and then so the crown grows evenly. A spacious living room or office with plenty of daylight is ideal.
How often should you water a Ficus umbellata?
Keep the soil of a Ficus umbellata slightly moist and let the top layer dry out a little in between. It dislikes drying out, but it does not like waterlogged roots either. Water less in winter.
Why is my Ficus umbellata dropping leaves after delivery?
A Ficus umbellata reacts to being moved, to draughts and to a change in light, so it may drop a number of leaves after delivery. Put it straight away in a permanent, bright spot without draughts and do not move it again. In the right spot it will produce new leaves.
Is a Ficus umbellata toxic to cats and dogs?
Like other ficus plants, the Ficus umbellata contains milky sap that can irritate the skin and mouth. It is best kept out of reach of pets that nibble on plants.
How is a Ficus umbellata delivered?
XXLplant ships the Ficus umbellata upright in its own plant box, with the crown in a paper sleeve and the pot secured. Large plants like this one go with a specialist carrier. In frost or heat we add a heat pack or cold pack.
